Smoke Seen Near Aramco Site After Houthi Threats

Smoke was seen rising near Saudi Aramco facilities at Abqaiq and Ayn Dar on September 30, according to unverified reports. The sightings follow threats from Yemen’s Houthi movement against Saudi oil infrastructure. It is not confirmed that any attack took place. Saudi officials have not commented on the reports. Abqaiq is one of the world’s largest oil processing facilities. It was hit by drone and missile strikes in 2019, an attack widely blamed on Iran. The Houthis have launched repeated attacks on Saudi targets during Yemen’s long war. A fragile truce has held for much of the past two years. Any new strike on oil facilities could send crude prices higher and rattle markets. The reports remain unconfirmed at this stage. Satellite images and official statements are still awaited. Analysts urge caution until verified evidence emerges about what caused the smoke. Oil traders are watching the situation closely, though prices have not yet moved on the unverified reports.
