Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels targeted an oil refinery on Saudi Arabia's southern Red Sea coast on Tuesday, according to reports from rebel media. This incident follows a broader escalation in hostilities, with the group increasing its frequency of attacks against the kingdom.
The recent surge in violence marks a significant departure from the relative stability established by a 2022 truce, which the Houthis broke in July. In addition to targeting Saudi infrastructure, the group has recently engaged in attacks against tankers in the Red Sea and Yemeni government forces.
