NEW YORK - Oil prices shot up $6 a barrel Thursday, rising to the highest level in over two weeks as escalating tensions with Russia stoked fears of a disruption of energy shipments to Western countries.

Tensions with Russia about a deal between Washington and Poland to install a missile defense system in Eastern Europe — seen as a threat by Moscow — and the continued presence of Russian troops in Georgia contributed greatly to the bullish mood.

Light, sweet crude for October delivery jumped $6.32 to $121.88 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It was crude's highest trading level since Aug. 4.
