SHAFAQNA– Days after the Yemeni army launched drones attacks against facilities of Saudi Arabia’s National Oil Company, ARAMCO, reports indicate the regime has begun provocative action against the Shia population in Qatif and Al Ahsa regions.
Opposition-linked website Mirat Aljazeera reports the Saudi regime is planning to accuse Shia citizens of the eastern regions of sabotage and treason. This, after Yemenis announced that they had carried out their precise drone attacks on Saudi oil plants with the help of “friends inside the kingdom”.
An anti-Shia campaign has already kicked off among Saudi accounts on social media websites, with some calling on authorities to sack Shia civil servants and staff from Aramco.
Yemen’s armed forces and the Houthis Saturday September 15 targeted Aramco’s Abqaiq and Khurais oil plants deep inside the kingdom. Abqaiq is believed to be the biggest oil facility in the world. The large-scale attack staged by 10 UAVs, caused huge blaze and knocked out more than five million barrels of crude from the kingdom’s daily oil production.
The Yemenis vowed to conduct a wider and more painful operation if the Saudi-led coalition does not end its offensive against the Arab country. They also warned to hit cities in the United Arab Emirates, Riyadh’s major partner in its four-year war on Yemen.
