Houthi missiles and drones hit Saudi oil facilities, wound 73

Yemen's Houthi rebels fired dozens of ballistic missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia, striking Abha International Airport, King Khalid Air Base and Aramco facilities in Najran and Abha, igniting fires and wounding at least 73 people, forcing temporary shutdowns at oil sites.

Why this matters. Direct Houthi strikes on Aramco production and airbase infrastructure force Saudi Arabia to divert air-defense resources and threaten renewed disruption to Gulf oil output already strained by the US-Iran conflict.
