Yemen's Houthi rebels claim attacks on Saudi oil pumping stations and Riyadh airport amid escalating hostilities

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi rebels announced on Monday that they had targeted Saudi Arabia's East-West crude oil pumping stations and Riyadh airport. This comes as escalating hostilities in the region threaten to disrupt oil supplies and potentially lead to a broader conflict. The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen reported earlier that it had destroyed two ballistic missile launchers in Sanaa, one of which was used to fire a missile towards Riyadh that was intercepted. The recent surge in fighting has effectively ended a UN-brokered truce that had largely been in place since 2022.
