Smoke plume seen after Houthi attack on Saudi oil facility ahead of Formula 1 race weekend

Smoke was seen rising after a Houthi-claimed attack on an Aramco oil storage facility in Jeddah, a senior official in Saudi Arabia said Friday, as Formula 1 fans headed to the country's second-largest city ahead of this weekend's Grand Prix.

There have been no casualties so far in the attack, the official told CNN.

The Houthis said they used a "large number" of drones to target the facility. The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen said one ballistic missile and 10 bomb-laden drones launched by the Iran-backed group from the southern border were intercepted, according to Saudi state-run TV channel al-Ekhbariya. The statement did not mention an attack on Jeddah.
