Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for a drone attack on Saudi Arabia's Abqaiq oil processing facility, one of the kingdom's most critical energy hubs.
Reports indicate the strike caused damage to infrastructure at the site, which handles a significant portion of the country's crude output.
Abqaiq is a linchpin in global oil markets, processing up to 7 million barrels per day.
The incident marks a fresh escalation in threats to Gulf energy infrastructure, following a series of recent attacks on Saudi facilities.
Handelsavisen previously reported that Saudi air defenses intercepted drones targeting oil installations in the Eastern Province, with Riyadh blaming Iran-backed militias operating from Iraq.
The current claim by the Houthis suggests a broadening of the threat landscape, with multiple non-state actors targeting key nodes in the global supply chain.
