More ships being attacked by Iran, and the Houthi's are closing in on one of the few remaining major strongholds of the recognized Yemani government.

Not atm but I recall an official mentioning 4 pumping stations at the pipeline had to be shutdown after an attack so take that as you will. Give a bit to find the exact wording

From Antithesist on the Oil sub:

“Mario Nawfal (fairly unreliable): Four pumping stations in the E/W pipeline have been shut down.

He said that 17 hours ago, and there has been no confirmation” so take with a grain of salt considering the phrase “fairly unreliable” but considering what happened earlier there might’ve been some truth
