Houthi forces strike Saudi oil facilities in Abha, Jazan, Najran and Khamis Mushait

Houthi rebels launched simultaneous attacks on Saudi oil facilities across Abha, Jazan, Najran and Khamis Mushait, wounding 73 people and forcing temporary operational halts at the targeted sites.

Why this matters. The Houthi attacks open a second front against Gulf energy infrastructure alongside US-Iran tanker strikes in the same market session, compounding supply-risk pressure that pushed Brent crude above $100.
