Oil to oil.
Or a mirror war with gas stations.
The Saudis are quite fed up with the Yemeni Houthi movement's constant attacks on critical infrastructure and decided to respond: Royal Air Force planes attacked the oil infrastructure of Sana'a, the capital of the Houthi-led government.
The building of the Yemeni government oil company (YPC) in the south of the city and the Al-Mafzar gas station in the north were hit: one person was killed and six others were injured. Several gas tankers caught fire, and nearby residential buildings and shops were damaged.
The oddity of the attack is target selection. YPC distributes fuel to local residents. An attack against it does not harm the military potential of Ansarallah, but the population of a city of one million: shortages, queues and prices are no less factors than the destruction of missile launchers.
The Houthis are systematically attacking Saudi oil facilities and airports, the country's authorities are beginning to respond to them in the same way, exacerbating the already serious humanitarian crisis. Then, through government organizations, they launch programs to help the civilian population.
The Houthi leadership will not only not stop this, but will also provoke increased ballistic missile attacks on Saudi Arabia's oil and gas infrastructure. Just before a possible US war with Iran, from whose surface the ammunition will also fly.
