Saudi Arabia's Energy Ministry said a limited fire broke out in an Aramco administrative building in the Eastern Province on Tuesday, with no injuries. The report quantifies flight cancellations but does not mention oil output, so travel is where Gulf-exposed operators can measure risk today.

Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree named every Saudi airport outside Mecca and Medina a potential target, a day after a strike killed 12 at Riyadh's airport.

Houthi strikes on Riyadh's King Khalid airport killed three people, including a Saudia pilot, Saudi authorities said. The one market price in the coverage, a bet on Houthi forces entering Aden, slipped anyway, because it settles on the ground war in Yemen.

Saudi-backed Yemeni forces said they secured Bab el-Mandeb from the Houthis a day after launching their Dawn of Yemen offensive. Any easing of Red Sea shipping risk depends on that hold lasting, in an oil market where Iran still calls the Strait of Hormuz closed.
