Saudi Arabia says it shot down more drones as Houthis claim to have turned back tanker

Saudi Arabia reported shooting down multiple drones launched from Iraqi territory by Iran-backed militias, marking the second consecutive day of such attacks. The drones targeted Saudi petroleum facilities in the east. In response, Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi directed security agencies to investigate. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an Iran-backed group, dismissed the Saudi claims as 'fabrications' and suggested the Houthis might have been responsible. Meanwhile, the Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed to have fired missiles at a Saudi oil tanker, prompting it to turn back. This incident highlights ongoing regional tensions, particularly involving Iran and its proxies, despite recent diplomatic efforts.
