Houthi Militants Fire on Saudi Oil Installations
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi militants fired on Saudi oil installations in two ports on the Red Sea coast Saturday, targeting facilities owned by state-run energy giant Saudi Aramco.
The attack marked a significant escalation of tensions between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, which has been leading a coalition of Arab states in a military campaign against the Houthi rebels since 2015.
The United States reportedly held back from launching air strikes on Iran itself for the first night in two weeks, despite concerns about Iran's growing influence in the region.
