DOHA (Sputnik) — Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, said on Monday that it had launched attacks on oil pumping stations of the East-West pipeline in Saudi Arabia. «We conducted an operation, carrying out drone strikes on oil pumping stations located along the East-West pipeline,» Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said. The Houthis also carried out two operations targeting Saudi-led coalition forces and weapon storage sites in Yemen’s provinces of Lahej and Aden, Saree said. Hostilities between the Houthis and Saudi-backed forces loyal to the internationally recognized Yemeni government intensified in August following a four-year lull after the Houthis attacked Saudi tankers in the Red Sea in retaliation for the shelling of Sanaa’s airport.
