Satellite data suggests pipeline strike, oil supply hit
The author argues satellite VIIRS/MODIS fire-radiation data showing FRP above 70 MW sustained for 8+ hours along a sub-10km stretch of an east-west pipeline is inconsistent with routine flaring or valve leaks, suggesting a Houthi strike caused a high-pressure crude rupture. The mechanism is a physical supply disruption to crude flows that would tighten oil markets. No timeframe or specific risk beyond the inference from remote-sensing data is given.
