Houthi strikes set Saudi oil facilities ablaze

Original version ·

Things in the Middle East just went from tense to literally on fire.

After years of a shaky truce, the Houthi movement decided to remind everyone they are still very much in the game. They launched a series of strikes that turned Saudi oil infrastructure into a massive fireball, leaving dozens of people injured in the process.

The situation had been simmering for weeks with renewed clashes, but this is a clear escalation. The four-year ceasefire in the Yemen civil war is officially dead. It is not just about the local conflict anymore; global energy markets are going to have a rough week watching these headlines.

Peace is apparently just a suggestion that nobody wants to follow anymore.

    Are we just ignoring the fact that a four-year peace deal evaporated in a single afternoon? This is absolutely insane.
