An attack on an oil terminal on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast set one fuel tank ablaze, the country’s petroleum ministry said, after several Houthi drones reportedly targeted two cities not far from the border with Yemen. A projectile struck an oil terminal in Jizan, a port on the Red Sea north of the Saudi-Yemen border, on Friday, igniting a fire but resulting in no casualties, according to a statement from the Saudi Oil Ministry.
“The kingdom condemns this cowardly attack directed against vital installations, which does not target the kingdom only, but also targets the security of petroleum exports, the stability of energy supplies to the world, and the freedom of global trade,” the ministry said.
Unverified video footage has circulated online purporting to show the blaze in progress.

Time to wipe out some Houthis!
*** Time to wipe out some Houthis! ***
Because killing Yemen’s children by blocking food, medicine, and bombing clean water sources is insufficient?
Why?
Dead Sunnis, dead Shias, both are good things.
I am more concerned for the implications of mass attacks by cheap drones. We need to study this and deploy counter measures.
Iran is backing the Houthis.
Is that a positive sign?
Isn’t this the group the Biden regime took off the terror group list? I guess this is part of making energy prices skyrocket to save the planet.
CIA drones!
*** Iran is backing the Houthis. ***
You need to change your FR moniker.
Do you believe in self-defense?
If someone comes up to your home to destroy it or kill you, do you feel justified using deadly force?
Inquiring minds want to know what a liberal professes he’d do.

I wouldn’t know what a liberal would do. I am an American Conservative.
Me:
True conservatives have always resisted the imperial and military impulse: it drains the treasury, curtails domestic liberties, breaks down families, and vulgarizes culture.
I do not support military actions and sanctions that to steal a phrase from HRC, “will bring them to their heel”.
As to your self defense mention, KSA is the aggressor in Yemen.
HOw many Billions have the Saudi’s spent on defense?
Still can not take care of the Houthi’s?
I have heard despite spending billions and forever practicing, the Saudi military is about as ready for trouble as the police dept on The Dukes of Hazzard.
