Houthi missiles and drones wounded 73 people at Saudi oil sites Sept 8. Will they hit Saudi energy targets again before Sept 14?

Houthi missiles and drones wounded more than 70 people and sparked fires at Saudi Aramco facilities in Abha and Jizan on September 8, 2026, but no subsequent strike on Saudi energy infrastructure was confirmed as Houthi-directed before September 14. A drone did hit a pumping station on Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline on September 10, prompting Riyadh to shut the 745-mile line the next day, but Saudi and Iraqi officials traced the attack to Iraqi territory and blamed Iran-backed militias operating there, not Yemen's Houthis, according to CNN and Al Jazeera. No group claimed responsibility, though an Iraqi militia coalition denied involvement while praising Houthi "battlefield victories" separately. Iraq removed its military operations commander in Maysan province, which borders Iran, over the failure to prevent the launch from its soil. Meanwhile, the Houthis themselves focused on territorial gains in this window, seizing the Red Sea port of Mokha and advancing toward Perim Island near the Bab el-Mandeb strait, rather than striking Saudi oil sites again directly. The distinction between Houthi and Iraqi-militia attribution proved decisive for this narrowly worded question. A majority of the community, 53%, expected another Houthi hit on Saudi energy targets before September 14; the attack that did occur in that window was attributed to a different actor, resolving the question no.
