Vuguvugu la Houthi la Yemen lilifanya shambulio la pamoja la ndege zisizo na rubani na makombora ya masafa marefu dhidi ya vituo vya Saudi Aramco, na kujeruhi watu zaidi ya 70, maafisa wa Saudi na Yemen walisema. Mashambulizi hayo yalilenga miundombinu muhimu ya nishati na yalitokea katikati ya mzozo mpana zaidi unaohusisha kundi lililoshikamana na Iran, ambalo limekuwa likilenga mara kwa mara Saudi Arabia na usafirishaji katika Bahari Nyekundu katika miaka ya hivi karibuni.
Shambulio hilo lilitikisa masoko ya nishati duniani, na kusukuma bei za mafuta ghafi ya Brent juu kwa kasi huku wafanyabiashara wakipima hatari ya vurugu zaidi katika usambazaji wa mafuta wa Ghuba. Mamlaka za Saudi zilisema ulinzi wa angani ulizuia baadhi ya makombora yaliyokuwa yakija, na kupunguza wigo wa uharibifu, ingawa maafisa hawakueleza mara moja kiwango cha uharibifu katika vituo vya uzalishaji vya Aramco. Mashambulizi hayo yanaongeza kwenye hali ya usalama isiyo thabiti katika eneo hilo, huku Houthi wakiendelea na mashambulizi licha ya miaka ya operesheni za muungano unaoongozwa na Saudi dhidi ya kundi hilo na jitihada za mara kwa mara za kusitisha mapigano katika vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe vya muda mrefu vya Yemen.
