Houthis Launch Wave of Attacks on Saudi Oil Facilities

The Iranian-backed Houthi rebel group in Yemen launched a wave of attacks on Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, wounding more than 70 people and igniting fires at oil facilities and utilities in the kingdom.

The attack was a major escalation in renewed fighting between an important US ally and the Iranian proxy group.

According to authorities, the attacks targeted various locations across the kingdom, causing significant damage and disruptions to critical infrastructure.

The conflict threatens to further destabilize a region already plagued by nearly three years of wars and has raised concerns about its impact on the global economy.
