Saudi Arabia Shaybah attack causes casualties

The Saudi Ministry of Energy has thwarted an attempt to target the Shaybah oil field using a drone, which caused a fire outside the facility's perimeter without affecting operational activities. The incident resulted in the deaths of residents from the Philippines and Nepal, and injuries among others from Pakistan and India. Authorities confirmed that they are handling the situation and have taken the necessary measures. This incident comes amid a rising number of attacks on Saudi oil facilities, as the Arab Coalition supporting legitimacy in Yemen intercepted six drones launched towards the Kingdom. Western officials, such as French President Macron, have expressed their support for Saudi Arabia in protecting its oil infrastructure, along with efforts to renew dialogue with the Houthi movement to reduce tensions. Meanwhile, security has been heightened, and additional oil supplies are being provided by several countries.
