Yemen's Houthis say they will keep attacking Saudi Arabia's King Khalid airport

The Houthi rebels have vowed to continue targeting King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, according to a report by Reuters. This announcement came shortly after the kingdom declared that flights had resumed following a series of Houthi attacks. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree declared the airport would never be secure and called on airlines, staff, and travelers to avoid using it.

The group claimed they conducted three military operations, deploying dozens of ballistic missiles, which they said achieved their objective. In addition to King Khalid Airport, the Houthi militants also attacked King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Najran Airport, and Khamis Mushait airbase. The Saudi-led coalition reported intercepting and destroying two Houthi ballistic missiles towards Taif and Yanbu earlier in the week.

WTI Oil, a high-quality crude oil, is a key benchmark in the international oil market. Its price is influenced by factors such as global growth, political instability, and OPEC decisions. The value of the US Dollar also plays a role since Oil is primarily traded in US Dollars. Weekly Oil inventory reports from the American Petroleum Institute and the Energy Information Agency impact WTI Oil prices, with a decrease in inventories signaling increased demand and pushing prices up.

OPEC's production decisions, particularly when they lower quotas, can tighten supply and raise Oil prices.
