Iraqi Drones Strike Saudi Oil Pipeline

Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline was attacked by drones launched from Iraqi territory, resulting in casualties and material damage. The Saudi Foreign Ministry condemned the attack, expressing its 'strongest condemnation.' In a rare move, Riyadh chose not to retaliate at Baghdad's request, giving Iraqi authorities time to take action.

A spokesperson for the Energy Ministry said pipeline operations were suspended as a precautionary measure due to the attack. People were injured in the incident, according to the ministry.

Iraq welcomed Saudi Arabia's decision not to respond and condemned the attack. The country's Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi ordered an investigation into the incident and the actions of those involved.
