Farsnews Saudi Whistle-Blower: MbS Mad at Saudi Intelligence Bodies’ Failure in Yemen Drone Attacks

Saudi whistle-blower Mujtahid, who is believed to be a member of or have a well-connected source in the royal family, disclosed that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is furious over the Yemenis’ recent drone attacks against the country’s oil facilities since he believes that Riyadh has been humilitated.

“Mohammed bin Salman has questioned the military intelligence unit over the incident and they have admitted their total ignorance and lack of any intel about the drones’ flights,” Mujtahid wrote on his twitter page on Wednesday.

Faced with the MbS’ wrath, the military intelligence unit has claimed that most possibly the drones have flown from a region inside Saudi Arabia and from a location close to the targets, he added.

Satellite imagery revealed the extent of damage to Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities in Yemen’s drone strikes last week, which forced the kingdom to stop oil flow in a major pipeline.

Al-Jazeera television network reported on Sunday that the attacks had caused significant damage to Saudi energy giant Aramco’s Pump Station 8.

The attack reportedly caused a 4-meter rupture in one of the station’s main oil pipes, causing severe leakage over an area of around a thousand square meters.

Yemeni soldiers, backed by allied fighters from Popular Committees, launched the major operation last Tuesday against the strategic oil facility in Saudi Arabia in retaliation for the Riyadh regime’s devastating military aggression and siege of the impoverished country. Following the attack, Saudi Arabia stopped pumping crude oil on the major pipeline across the country. The retaliatory attack also led to the rise of oil prices and fall of stock markets in Persian Gulf Arab countries.

The attack bears extra significance at this stage of the war because the Yemeni forces could fly armed drones so far and carry out precision strikes and then fly them back while evading all Saudi defenses on the way. The long-range drones open unlimited possibilities for Yemeni resistance forces, which have already surpassed all expectations by surviving the massive Saudi onslaught and mounted a potent response with an arsenal of ballistic missiles.

Yemen’s Ansarullah movement has warned that its recent attack on a major Saudi oil facility was the start of operations against 300 vital targets in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

The group added that other planned targets include military headquarters and facilities in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
