France has pledged to send military aid and troops to defend an oil plant in Saudi Arabia following attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi militia. President Emmanuel Macron announced the decision on September 24, stating that he would send soldiers and military support to protect the Saudi port of Yanbu.

Saudi Arabia came under attack from the Houthi militia on Thursday, with the kingdom saying it intercepted missiles fired toward the Red Sea port of Yanbu and the city of Taif. The attacks mark a significant escalation in the conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthi rebels.
