Houthi Missile Strike on Saudi Oil Tanker Forces Shutdown of Jizan Refinery

Yemen's Houthi rebels launched ballistic missiles at a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea on July 28, accusing the vessel of violating their self-declared maritime blockade. Following the attack, Saudi Aramco announced the immediate closure of its 400,000-barrel-per-day Jizan refinery. The incident has caused global Brent crude prices to fluctuate and forced shipping companies to seek alternative routes through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
