Oil prices rose Monday after the Iran-backed Houthis launched attacks on two Saudi airports over the weekend, The Hill reported. Brent crude closed near $106 a barrel late Monday, about $1.20 higher than Friday’s close, after reaching $107.33 earlier in the day.

PBS NewsHour said Houthi forces were again targeting Saudi military sites and infrastructure, while a Saudi-led coalition carried out airstrikes on oil facilities in Houthi-controlled Yemen. PBS described the strikes as a response to deadly airport attacks in Riyadh. The reports said the exchanges raised concerns that the conflict could broaden and involve other regional powers.
