Houthi Strikes Threaten Saudi Oil and Food Supplies

India Today · world

Yemen's Houthis have intensified missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia, targeting civilian areas, energy facilities, and military sites. These strikes have injured civilians and disrupted oil operations, including a shutdown of the East-West Pipeline. The Bab al-Mandeb Strait's control by Houthi forces exacerbates risks to Saudi oil exports rerouted via the Red Sea. Jazan Port, crucial for food imports, also faces severe shortages.
