US crude futures were down $1.60, or ‌1.55%, at $101.67 per ‌barrel ⁠by 0018 GMT. ⁠Brent crude futures were down $1.56 or 1.34% at $115.16.

Prices had settled nearly $3 ​higher on ‌Friday after Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia stoked energy supply concerns. Brent finished the ‌week up 6% ​and WTI ended 2.3% higher.

Attacks continued over ⁠the weekend with Houthis saying they had attacked the ‌Saudi airport and oil facilities on Saturday. Saudi Arabia said on Sunday it had intercepted more missiles and drones.

The top ‌oil exporter restarted partial operations ​at its main airport on Sunday after damage ⁠in a previous round of Houthi ⁠attacks even as the militant group ‌vowed to keep targeting the facility.
