Houthi Official Warns of Planned Visit to Saudi Oil Sites

A Houthi official said a group from Yemen planned to visit Saudi oil and critical installations on Oct. 13, raising concerns about further pressure on regional energy infrastructure.

The warning followed a series of Houthi attacks on Saudi airports and energy sites. Saudi Arabia has responded with defensive measures, while the latest statement pointed to continued targeting of economic and civilian assets.

Market pricing placed the chance of Houthi forces entering Aden by Oct. 31 at a low level, with the probability showing a slight increase.

The potential visit comes as tensions continue to shape perceptions of regional conflict risk. Saudi defensive actions, diplomatic efforts and further statements from Houthi or Saudi officials will determine the next developments.
