Houthi Drone/Missile Strikes on Saudi Aramco Sites Push Brent Near $100

Houthi forces struck Saudi Aramco facilities in Abha, Najran, and Jizan, plus King Khalid Air Base, with dozens of drones and missiles, per their military spokesman. Brent crude rose 0.95% to $97.92, touching $99.46 intraday, as supply risk in the Red Sea region escalates. The attack marks a direct escalation against Saudi energy infrastructure, with market impact already visible; US response remains unclear.
