Yemen’s Houthis claimed they attacked a “sensitive” Saudi target at Najran Airport and Aramco in Najran. That is Forex Factory’s LiveSquawk item, posted 20 August at 9:04 a.m. and marked low-impact breaking. The same line says there is no immediate Saudi confirmation. This is a claim. It is not a confirmed hit.
FinancialJuice, on the same page at 9:08 a.m., reprints Tasnim News: Yemeni armed forces targeted Najran airport and Aramco oil facilities using attack drones, and that the attacks were a direct response to the violation of Yemeni airspace over Saada province by Saudi drones.

The oil tape stays the live WTI near $86. Hormuz stays the Tuesday six.
