Houthi Attacks Ignite Fires at Several Oil Facilities in Southern Saudi Arabia, Authorities Say
- Houthi rebels launched attacks on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia's Jizan region, including a 400,000-barrel-per-day refinery, causing fires and wounding 73 people, according to the Saudi Energy Ministry and Associated Press.
- These attacks follow a Houthi-declared blockade on Saudi ports along the Red Sea in July and renewed ground offensives near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, which have intensified fighting in Yemen.
- The Jizan oil complex suffered damage from the strikes, with Saudi Aramco assessing structural losses after disruptions similar to a previous attack in August.
- Global oil markets reacted strongly, with Brent crude rising above $97 per barrel amid concerns about supply disruptions related to shipping routes and regional tensions.
