Saudi attacks, West Bank trade ban, Huawei foldable | Reuters World News
Houthi militants have escalated their attacks on Saudi Arabia, targeting energy facilities and cities across the kingdom, injuring nearly 100 people and causing oil prices to climb to six-week highs. These actions follow the Houthis' naval blockade against Riyadh and Iran's threats of economic warfare against the US.
The renewed Houthi aggression risks a broader conflict in the region and has immediate economic consequences, as evidenced by the spike in oil prices. The attacks underscore the ongoing instability and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
