Five people were killed in Houthi attacks targeting Yemen’s Marib province, a region critical to the country’s oil production and transport infrastructure.
The strikes, reported by AFP, underscore the intensifying security risks in one of the Middle East’s most volatile energy corridors.
The violence in Marib comes amid broader concerns over the safety of regional energy assets.
Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi rebels have previously claimed responsibility for striking multiple crude oil supply and transport sites in neighboring Saudi Arabia.
These actions have targeted infrastructure linking key production hubs to export terminals, raising persistent fears of supply disruptions.
Further compounding the risk, the group recently claimed responsibility for attacking two Saudi Arabian oil tankers.
