Houthis Strike Major Saudi Oil Facility
The Houthi rebels in Yemen have targeted Saudi oil facilities for the second time this year, sparking concerns about global energy security. The latest attack occurred on July 26, when a drone strike hit a facility at Abqaiq, which is one of the world's largest crude oil processing plants.
The Abqaiq facility has a daily capacity of over 7 million barrels and is operated by Saudi Aramco. The company said that it would not comment on the attack, but the incident highlights the ongoing threat to global energy supplies posed by the conflict in Yemen.
