Saudi Aramco’s oil facilities in Jizan were hit in a fresh attack on Monday, with the extent of the damage still being assessed, according to reports. The complex includes a 400,000-barrel-per-day refinery and other energy infrastructure. Jizan, near Saudi Arabia’s border with Yemen, has previously been targeted by Iran-backed Houthi forces, although the group has not claimed responsibility for Monday’s strike. The attack comes amid renewed fighting in Yemen and growing tensions around Red Sea shipping. Oil prices also rose, with Brent crude reaching around $97.40 a barrel. Analysts warn that further attacks on shipping could trigger a larger global supply shock. (PC: India Today)
