Houthi threat to Saudi oil fields

by Jolyon: Saudi Arabia

Riyadh is weighing a bigger Yemeni government-led ground push along the Red Sea coast, with forces pulled together from different Yemeni factions. In response, the Houthis say Saudi oil fields and critical infrastructure would be hit if a full-scale attack on Yemen goes ahead. A political bureau member warned that airports, electricity networks, and water facilities would be targeted in any major escalation. The group has kept up pressure on both sides of the border: multiple waves on the government-held port of Mocha, deadly attacks on Saudi-backed troops in Marib and Hadhramaut, and continued claims of strikes on Saudi energy sites.
