Middle East3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported31m ago
Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement carried out a drone attack targeting Saudi Arabia's Jazan oil refinery and commercial storage facilities on Sunday. The strike occurred two days after Saudi Arabia signed a defence pact with Turkey and Pakistan, a move made in response to growing regional instability stemming from the US-Israeli war on Iran.
In the aftermath of the assault, Yemeni government sources reported that Saudi air defences were actively engaging drones launched toward the port's commercial quay and storage areas. Meanwhile, Iran issued tough demands regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing Middle East crisis.
