Breaking: Two people dead at Saudi Aramco as Houthis strike again

Two people have been killed following an attack on a Saudi Aramco (TADAWUL: 2222) oil field in eastern Saudi Arabia, as Houthi strikes put the kingdom's energy industry back under pressure.

The incident comes during another round of fighting involving Yemen's Houthi movement and Saudi-backed government forces. Details about the victims, the specific facility hit, and any damage to oil production have not been provided.

The attack adds to a series of strikes against Saudi targets over recent weeks. Oil installations have been among the targets, alongside Riyadh's main airport.

The initial account does not identify the weapon used against the Aramco site or independently establish who carried out this particular strike.
