Houthi attack sends oil to highest value since July

Oil prices surged this Tuesday, approaching 100 dollars per barrel, after Houthi attacks against energy infrastructure in southern Saudi Arabia caused fires and forced the temporary suspension of operations. The attacks were claimed by Houthi rebels from Yemen, who have been targeting Saudi Arabia following the conflict between the group and the internationally recognized government. State-owned Saudi Aramco saw its operations affected by the attacks, which caused significant damage to oil infrastructure in the region. This incident represents a new escalation in the Yemeni conflict and raises concerns about the stability of oil supply in the Middle East region.
