Houthis claim attacks on Aramco's Yanbu and Shaybah facilities; Aramco says both undamaged, claim untrue
The Houthis claimed missile and drone strikes on Monday hit Saudi Aramco's Yanbu facility on the Red Sea coast and the 1mn b/d Shaybah oil field in the southeast, saying they caused fires at both sites. A state-controlled Aramco source said the claim was untrue and both facilities are intact and undamaged. The claim briefly pushed front-month ICE Brent crude futures above $110/bl for the first time since mid-May.
