Egypt Slams Houthi Drone Strikes on Saudi Oil Infrastructure

Egypt has issued a strong condemnation of recent drone attacks on Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure. The strikes, claimed by Yemen's Houthi forces, targeted critical supply routes connecting to the Red Sea export hub of Yanbu.

The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement expressing full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and calling for an immediate halt to all attacks targeting the kingdom and other Arab nations.

This move comes as tensions escalate in the region. Houthi forces have been threatening disruptions to global oil supplies, driving up prices. The latest strikes follow threats made last week to extend these disruptions by announcing a blockade of Saudi Arabia's oil industry in the Red Sea.
