Houthi Attacks Ignite Fires at Saudi Oil Facilities, Escalating Regional Tensions
Houthi rebels in Yemen have launched attacks on Saudi Arabia's oil facilities, causing fires and injuring dozens of people.
The attacks occurred just days after deadly clashes in Iran, Lebanon, and Gaza, further escalating tensions between the US ally and Iranian proxy.
Saudi Arabia has not released a statement on the extent of the damage or the number of injured, but reports suggest several oil facilities were affected.
The UK government announced it will ban goods from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, prompting Israel to respond by closing its British consulate in Jerusalem.
