On Nov. 21, the Iranian-backed Houthi militia launched a drone attack against the Dhabba Oil Terminal in Yemen’s Hadramawt Governorate. This was the second attack they had launched against this particular facility and the third such strike on Yemeni oil ports in the past two months. The escalation comes after the expiration of Yemen’s truce in early October, which the Houthis refused to renew. The threat of further attacks on oil ports and military targets remains high as the militant group tests the tolerance and response of Yemen’s government and the international community while increasing its demands.
