Houthis in Yemen have threatened to strike Aramco oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, escalating regional tensions. The group issued a warning through its media outlet, Al-Masirah, stating it would target key energy infrastructure. The threat comes amid ongoing conflict between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, which has seen repeated attacks on Saudi oil installations.
Saudi Arabia’s Emir, Sheikh Mohamed bin Salman, has called for increased efforts to restore maritime navigation in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. He emphasized the importance of securing critical waterways, which are vital for global oil trade. The warning from the Houthis follows a recent attack on an airport in Riyadh, which damaged infrastructure and raised concerns about security.
The conflict between Yemen and Saudi Arabia has intensified over the past year, with both sides accusing each other of escalating hostilities. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have launched multiple attacks on Saudi oil facilities, disrupting energy supplies and prompting international concern. Saudi Arabia has responded with military strikes in Yemen, further deepening the crisis. The latest threats highlight the ongoing instability in the region and the potential for further escalation.
