In a significant escalation of regional conflict, Iran-backed Houthi forces launched multiple attacks on Saudi Arabia, targeting energy facilities and causing injuries to 73 individuals. The assaults have ignited fires at oil sites in several cities and disrupted operations of major energy providers, including Saudi Aramco. In response, Saudi officials have vowed to take retaliatory measures. As these events unfold, oil prices have surged, nearing $100 a barrel, amid concerns over supply disruptions. The situation continues to worsen, with Houthi claims of hitting multiple targets across the Kingdom, intensifying the conflict in the Middle East.
