SINGAPORE/TOKYO (Reuters) - Brent crude oil shot up nearly 6 percent on Thursday after Saudi Arabia and its Gulf Arab allies began a military operation in Yemen, but the benchmark later came off its high near $60 (40 pounds) as importers saw no immediate threat to supplies.
The strike against Houthi rebels, who have driven the president from Yemen's capital Sanaa, could stoke concerns about the security of Middle East oil shipments.
Oil prices jumped as traders and importers said they were worried the Saudi attack was a sign that fighting in the oil-rich Middle East was spreading and out of control.
Brent futures (LCOc1) rose as high as $59.71 a barrel, up almost 6 percent since their last settlement, before dipping back to $57.96 a barrel at 0638 GMT, though still up $1.48.
U.S. crude (CLc1) was up $1.76 at $50.97 a barrel.
The risk from the attack in Yemen was heightened because the Houthis have received some support from Iran, Saudi Arabia's long-time rival for dominance in the Middle East.
"The Saudis have taken military action because they have said the Houthis are getting support from the Iranians," said Li Guofu, director of the Centre for Middle East Studies at the China Institute of International Studies.
"This is an indication that the war may gradually spread into a regional conflict. This is something the Chinese government is very much concerned about," he said.
Beyond oil, the Middle East is also the world's biggest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), from Qatar and also Yemen, but importers said they were not immediately worried.
"Gas supply from Yemen has no disruption so far. We are not concerned given the supply surplus and weak demand currently," said Lee Sang-wook Korea Gas Corp.
Like oil, LNG prices have fallen by more than half in the last 10 months as surging output has been met with slowing economic growth, especially in Asia.
With the global crude glut built up from U.S. shale oil and strong output from producers such as Russia, there is little immediate worry about any shortages developing.
