Yemen's Houthi group says it attacked oil sites and airports in Saudi Arabia, but Saudi Arabia has not confirmed it. The group said on Monday it launched several attacks on Saudi energy, airport and military targets, Reuters reported. It named an Aramco site in Yanbu, the Shaybah oilfield, King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Abha airport. Aramco is Saudi Arabia's state oil company. Reuters said Saudi authorities did not immediately confirm the claims. It said it could not check them itself. Separately, Reuters reported that a Houthi attack on a training camp for government security forces in Yemen's Shabwa province killed 58 people. More than 200 people were injured, it said. Ship-tracking firm Kpler said at least 18 ships were reportedly attacked over two weeks, according to Reuters. The region is a key route for the world's oil. Worries about supply have pushed oil prices to their highest level in months. It is not yet known whether any Saudi site was actually hit, or whether there was damage. Saudi officials have not said.
