  "summary": "Yemen's Houthis have claimed they carried out three military operations in Saudi Arabia, targeting several locations including the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, an Aramco refinery in Rabigh, the Abha international airport, and the Khamis Mushait military base, according to Business Recorder. There was no immediate Saudi confirmation of these claims.\n\nSaudi Aramco Chief Executive Amin Nasser has warned that global oil stockpiles are \"scarily thin\" due to the US-Iran war, as reported by Free Malaysia Today and Gulf News. Nasser stated that emergency reserves might last through winter but would not address longer-term supply problems. He also mentioned that rebuilding stockpiles depleted during the Strait of Hormuz crisis could take up to two years.\n\nSaudi Aramco has cut prices for its flagship crude grade sold to Asian buyers to a six-year low, as reported by The National Business and The National UAE. The state-owned Saudi oil company will sell Arab Light crude to Asian customers at a discount of $5 a barrel below the regional benchmark for November. This move signals that Saudi Arabia may be seeking to boost sales to Asia as oil flows from the Middle East recover after months of disruption linked to the Iran war.",
