Houthis claim missile and drone strikes on Saudi Aramco oil facilities

Saudi Aramco and global oil markets face direct targeting of critical infrastructure. The collapse of a 2022 truce has resumed large-scale cross-border strikes affecting Red Sea shipping routes, crude supplies, and regional stability. Over 330 reported strikes in 24 hours (by both sides' counts) and competing casualty claims signal intensified military operations with measurable humanitarian displacement (hundreds of thousands displaced; 74% of Taiz households food-insecure as of late September). Saudi officials are considering expanded operations to counter Houthi military expansion, potentially widening the conflict scope.
