Houthi forces have escalated attacks on Saudi Arabia, targeting Aramco's headquarters and vowing strikes on airports and oil sites. Concurrently, a cargo ship sank in the Strait of Hormuz following a strike, marking a significant escalation in maritime security risks. This dual threat to energy infrastructure and global shipping lanes is driving up oil prices and increasing insurance premiums for maritime transport, with direct implications for energy equities and global supply chains.
