Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for attacks targeting crude oil supply and transport sites in eastern Saudi Arabia, aiming to disrupt the flow of oil to the Red Sea export hub of Yanbu. The Houthis stated the attacks were retaliation for alleged Saudi drone incursions into Yemeni airspace. As of Monday, Saudi Aramco, the state-owned oil giant, had not issued a statement confirming the attacks or assessing any damage. This escalation raises concerns about potential disruptions to global oil supplies and further instability in the region. The Houthis, aligned with Iran, have previously launched attacks on Saudi oil facilities, often citing the ongoing war in Yemen and the Saudi-led coalition’s involvement. This latest claim adds to existing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The extent of the damage, if any, remains unconfirmed pending official statements from Saudi authorities.
