Houthis strike Aramco sites in Jazan and Yanbu
The Houthi group announced the targeting of Saudi oil facilities at the ports of Jazan and Yanbu on the Red Sea coast, reflecting escalating tensions in the region. The Houthis' military spokesperson confirmed the success of the attacks, noting increased smoke in Jazan and potential damage to storage sites, while the U.S. 'Patriot' system intercepted two missiles in Yanbu. Saudi forces and those supported by the coalition responded with airstrikes on Houthi positions in Marib and Al-Jawf, marking a new escalation after the Yemen war had been on pause since 2022. The Houthi blockade has led to a rise in global oil prices, amid US warnings of a possible military response from Iran and its allies. Saudi Arabia reaffirmed its commitment to protecting its maritime interests and responding to Houthi acts of aggression.
