Houthi Attacks Ignite Fires in Saudi Oil Facilities, Wound Over 70

The Iranian-backed Houthi rebel group in Yemen launched a series of attacks on Saudi Arabia, causing significant damage to oil facilities and utilities. The attacks resulted in over 70 people being wounded, with fires ignited at several locations.

The assault is considered a major escalation in the ongoing conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi rebels. This fighting has been fueled by tensions between Iran and its proxy groups, including the Houthis, and key US allies such as Saudi Arabia.
