Gulf Attacks Raise Fears for Global Energy Supplies
Fresh attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure and vessels in the Gulf have heightened concerns over global energy supplies.
A UK Maritime Trade Operations agency report confirmed that a vessel was struck by a projectile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, sparking a fire and forcing crew members to evacuate.
The incident occurred as tensions around key oil and shipping routes intensified, with Iran reporting one person killed and four crew members wounded after an Iranian commercial vessel was struck off its coast.
In Saudi Arabia, state media released footage showing damage to homes and a mosque in Jazan province following what officials described as another cross-border attack by Yemen's Houthi militants.
