On the same day, Houthi UAVs attacked the Saudi Aramco oil plant in Jizan. Air defense of Saudi Arabia reported on the destruction of two targets and no damage to ground infrastructure.
A new wave of Houthi armed #drones have been targeting Saudi-Arabia’s Aramco oil facilities in Jizan, processing 400.000 b/oil a day. While they all seem to have been intercepted, it only takes one hit to cause a massive chemical incident. More here: https://t.co/JiEIyj8Iqr pic.twitter.com/n13xVyFMJX

Ongoing fighting in Marib province has made it difficult to supply natural gas to other parts of the country. The delay has been going on for over three weeks, as a result of which more than 1200 gas carriers. Hadists blamed for delays in Houthi action, as well as sabotage by local tribes.
In Taiz, the Hadi police are accused of, which detains and tortures an accidental civilian on false suspicion of being a Houthi. Public activists are trying to draw the attention of international organizations to the fact of torture.
This man is known to all he suffers from a psychological for a long time .Two days ago, Military police forces hold him in Al torbah area of Taiz , beat him, whipped him, locked him in prison cell. Why you doing that, their excuses thought he is houthi. really its not fair ???? pic.twitter.com/Asi37uAS0G

Houthi forces repel attempted Saudi offensive in Al Jawf province. The Hadist problem is, that part of the forces, which they could use to strengthen their position in Marib, they are forced to use for STC battles east of Aden.

Militants of the "Southern Transitional Council" (STC) destroyed the car of the militants of the Al-Islah party obeying the command of the Hadis. Al-Islah has clearly drifted to Riyadh and Hadi in recent months, therefore STC squeezes it out of Socotra and areas east of Aden.

Saudi Arabia continues to try to portray its actions in Yemen as humanitarian, organizing the delivery of government aid for Yemenis. The fact of a humanitarian catastrophe after the start of the intervention in Yemen is naturally omitted. Average, Saudi Arabia spends up to 300 million dollars a year, not counting the humanitarian aid itself.

TO 17 July, Houthi troops continued their attempts to cut a key supply route in the northwestern part of Marib, which could force the Hadi and Saudis to retreat across the desert to the eastern regions of Al-Jafw province. Saudi Arabia actively uses aviation to stop the situation. Hadists transfer additional forces from under Taiz and Hadhramaut. The operational initiative is still on the side of the Houthis, but their successes so far are tactical. The pace of operations slowed down compared to April-June.
Houthi operations against Saudi border brigade positions in Najran province on the border with Saudi Arabia. The battles in this direction are of a positional nature - the sides do not have enough strength to achieve significant operational goals.
