Houthi missiles target military base in Saudi Arabia as Iraq probes drone attack on oil pipeline

On Sunday, Houthi forces claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile and drone attack targeting a military base in Saudi Arabia. Simultaneously, Iraqi authorities have launched an investigation into a separate drone strike that forced the shutdown of a key oil pipeline. In response to the pipeline attack, Iraq has removed a military commander from his post.

The incidents highlight escalating regional tensions, with the pipeline attack reportedly originating from an area bordering Iran. These developments mark a period of heightened security concerns across the region as both Saudi Arabia and Iraq contend with coordinated aerial strikes on critical infrastructure and military installations.
