Houthi Missile Strike Hits Jazan Refinery Amid Escalation Warnings
Houthi rebels launched their second missile strike this week against Saudi Aramco’s refinery in Jazan, prompting an urgent warning from UN Envoy Hans Grundberg regarding the risk of a return to large-scale war in Yemen. The attack coincides with a renewed Houthi campaign against shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The escalation follows the collapse of long-term truce conditions and is severely impacting regional fuel prices and international maritime insurance rates.
