Houthi rebels in Yemen attacked Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

The rebels get support from Iran.

They hurt 73 people.

They also started fires at oil places and public services.

Saudi officials said the attacks hit civilian and economic targets.

These targets were in Abha, Jazan, Najran, and Khamis Mushait.

The Saudi Energy Ministry said fires started at several oil places and public services.

These are in the southern area.

Work there stopped for a time.

The area has a big refinery in Jazan.

This refinery processes 400,000 barrels each day.

Firefighters fought the fires on Tuesday morning.

The Houthi military spokesman is Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree.

He said they fired many missiles and drones.

The targets included oil places, a big work area in Jazan, Aramco sites, and King Khalid Air Base.

He blamed Saudi Arabia for the bigger fight.

He warned of a strong answer to any attack.

Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister is Prince Faisal bin Farhan.

He said the Houthis use violence to help themselves.

He said the kingdom will not wait to protect itself.

The attacks came after the rebels blamed Saudi Arabia for an airstrike.

That airstrike hit a prison in Yemen.

It killed at least seven people.

The new fighting may start Yemen’s civil war again.

That war has killed at least 150,000 people since 2014.
