Houthis Strike at Saudi Oil Supply Amid Regional Tensions
Tensions in the Middle East have escalated as Yemen's Houthi forces launched a bold attack on Saudi Arabia's oil supply and transport points, targeting the Red Sea export hub of Yanbu.
The operation, declared by Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree, was a reaction to alleged Saudi drone activity in Yemeni airspace.
Saudi Arabia has rerouted its crude through the east-west pipeline to Yanbu, circumventing disruptions from Iranian hostilities. However, the attack has ignited concerns over heightened oil prices globally.
