Turkey Slams Drone Attacks on Saudi Oil Pipeline from Iraq

Turkey has strongly condemned drone attacks on Saudi Arabia that were launched from Iraqi territory.

The drones struck an East-West pipeline in the Riyadh and Medina regions, causing injuries and prompting its closure as a precaution. This oil pipeline is crucial for Saudi Arabia, which relies heavily on it to bypass Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the US war with Iran.

Turkey reiterated its support for Saudi Arabia's sovereignty and territorial integrity and praised Saudi authorities for their 'restrained approach' aimed at avoiding an escalation of tensions in the region.
