A few days later, during which it carried out land and sea strikes, whether by targeting oil ships or oil facilities, Yemen succeeded in imposing the maritime siege in light of the disruption of oil exports via the main port of Yanbu on the Red Sea, which Saudi Arabia had considered as an alternative to the Strait of Hormuz with a capacity reaching 9 million barrels per day according to what the Kingdom was planning, according to a previous statement by the Ministry of Energy.

Today, Saudi Arabia is unable to export even a quarter of its previous oil production in light of the damage to the energy infrastructure with the bombing of fields, facilities, and distribution centers and stations, along with the ports, or the targeting of the naval fleet for transporting oil.
