Houthi media publishes an announcement of renewed targeting of pumping station No. 7
At 20:39 UTC, the Sanaa authorities’ 26 September website published an announcement that Houthi forces had again targeted pumping station No. 7 on the East-West pipeline with a drone, claiming success. This announcement of renewed targeting is distinct from the Aramco, Sharurah and Khamis Mushait accounts published before the window, but gives no time for the operation. We obtained no independent verification of a hit, damage or disrupted oil flows, nor evidence linking it to the earlier Riyadh and Eastern Province interceptions.
