Saudi Arabia Intercepts Militia Drones Targeting Oil Infrastructure
Saudi Arabian air defenses intercepted and destroyed multiple drones launched from Iraqi territory by Iran-backed militias. The drones were reportedly targeting critical oil facilities in the kingdom's eastern region. Riyadh condemned the attack as a violation of sovereignty and called on Baghdad to prevent Iraqi soil from being used as a launchpad for aggression. The incident follows heightened regional tensions and a series of reciprocal strikes involving U.S. and Iranian assets.
