Houthi Attack Injures 11 Civilians Near Saudi-Yemen Border

The Saudi military said Houthi attacks near the Yemen border injured 11 civilians, including a child. The shelling struck a residential area in Jazan province, raising fresh concerns about the fragility of the ceasefire along the southern frontier. No group immediately claimed responsibility. Saudi Arabia has led a military coalition in Yemen since 2015. The incident comes as regional tensions complicate supply chains and energy markets, though direct spillover into equity markets remains limited. Analysts said the geopolitical risk premium on crude could edge higher if the violence escalates, adding a layer of cost pressure for import-dependent manufacturers. The Saudi-led coalition did not specify whether it would retaliate.
