The incident underscores growing threats to Saudi Arabia’s oil infrastructure and export capacity as the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran continues.

The strikes come just days after an Iran-aligned militia seized a key Red Sea port city in Yemen, raising further concerns about regional energy shipping routes.

The attack also comes as Saudi Arabia reported to OPEC that its crude oil production fell sharply last month, dropping to its lowest level since 1990.
