The Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed responsibility for attacks targeting oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, escalating tensions in the region. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree announced the strikes, stating they hit “sensitive points” in Saudi Arabia’s oil supply. This attack follows recent reports from Saudi Arabia regarding launches originating from Iraq. The incident highlights the ongoing, largely unseen conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, a key player in the Yemeni civil war. The Houthis have frequently launched attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure, aiming to pressure the kingdom and its allies. This latest claim of responsibility signals a continuation of these attacks and contributes to instability in the Middle East. No details regarding the extent of the damage were immediately available.
