The Houthis Hit a Saudi Aramco Refinery on Sunday — and Neither of Riyadh’s New Treaty Partners Has Made a Move
The refinery processes more than 400,000 barrels of crude a day, and Saudi and Yemeni forces reported intercepting some of the attacks.
- On Sunday, Houthi rebels struck Saudi Aramco's Jazan refinery, which processes more than 400,000 barrels of oil daily. The attack marks an escalation in strikes across Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
- The 12-year-old war, largely frozen since 2022, reignited last month after a ceasefire brokered in 2023 mostly held. This shift marks a departure from the established truce that had stabilized the conflict.
- Earlier attacks against government positions killed at least 11 people, with dozens wounded. The Houthis also launched ballistic missiles against the Red Sea port of Mokha and the southern Saudi region of Najran.
- Saudi Arabia recently signed a defense pact with Pakistan and Turkey in Mecca to enhance security among the three nations. The agreement pledges mutual support but imposes no legal obligation for military aid.
- The Yemeni front continues to escalate, complicating United States efforts to contain Iran and its proxies. This widening conflict threatens oil markets, though the U.S. has left the Saudi-led coalition to handle the situation.
