JUST IN: IEA says 325 MILLION barrels of emergency oil have been released

BREAKING: Yemen's Houthis appear to have struck Saudi Arabia's East-West crude oil pipeline again, hitting Pumping Station No. 2 east of Riyadh. Sentinel-3 satellite imagery shows a black smoke plume roughly 50 km long over the site today. NASA FIRMS recorded four heat anomalies at the station, with fire radiative power up to 88 megawatts and one reading at 367 Kelvin, the ceiling the VIIRS mid-infrared channel can register, meaning the fire is likely hotter than the data shows. The pipeline is Saudi Arabia's only export route that does not pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It was shut on September 11 after the first wave of strikes and only partially restarted on September 22.

BREAKING: Yemen's Houthis announce they struck the Saudi Aramco oil field and central processing hub at Khurais with ballistic missiles and drones, causing major fires, alongside a second operation against Saudi Aramco facilities in Riyadh. Khurais is one of the largest onshore crude oil processing facilities in the world, handling about 1.5 million barrels per day. It is the first strike on Khurais since September 2019, when it was hit alongside Abqaiq.
