A major drone attack has struck Saudi Arabia's critical oil infrastructure, triggering a massive fire at Saudi Aramco's Abqaiq refinery and hitting the East-West Pumping Station. The Houthis claimed responsibility, saying the strikes were retaliation for alleged Saudi attacks on Yemen's Hodeideh port and oil tanker infrastructure. Saudi Arabia blamed Iran-backed groups based in Iraq, a claim denied by the militias, which accused Riyadh of masking its security failures. Satellite imagery confirmed extensive fire damage at Abqaiq, one of the world's most important oil processing facilities. The attack has heightened concerns over global energy security and potential disruptions to oil supplies.
