Houthi Attacks Escalate as Saudi Coalition Strikes Yemen Oil Depots

The ongoing conflict in Yemen has seen a significant escalation, with both the Houthi rebels and the Saudi-led coalition targeting vital energy infrastructure. Saudi coalition airstrikes recently struck oil depots near Sana'a, prompting warnings for civilians to evacuate the vicinity. These strikes are reportedly aimed at disrupting the Houthi militia's capabilities.

In retaliation, the Iran-backed Houthis have threatened to strike Saudi Arabia's energy giant, Aramco, with reports of explosions heard near its headquarters in Dhahran. This exchange follows previous threats and attacks by the Houthis on Aramco facilities, raising concerns about regional stability and the security of global energy supplies. The intensified fighting and threats have contributed to a rise in oil prices.
