Saudi Oil Facilities Under Attack by Iran-Backed Militias for Second Day

Iran-backed militias in Iraq have launched drone attacks on Saudi oil facilities for the second consecutive day, putting pressure on the kingdom as it struggles to maintain crude oil shipments amid a maritime blockade.

The Saudi Defense Ministry confirmed that it had intercepted drones targeting its Eastern Region facilities on Tuesday. However, it did not provide information on whether any damage was sustained during the attack.

This is the second day in a row that militias have targeted Riyadh and the Eastern Region from Iraq. The attacks are part of an escalating conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran-backed groups in the region.
