Saudi Arabia's Civil Defense activated warning sirens early this morning in the Eastern Province and the southern city of Najran following a missile and drone attack launched from Yemen. Arab sources on social media reported hearing explosions in Najran, while the Ras Tanura refinery in eastern Saudi Arabia was reportedly targeted by Yemeni forces, with several powerful explosions reported at the facility.
The strikes highlight the continued vulnerability of Saudi Arabia's critical energy infrastructure, as the majority of the country's oil and gas resources are concentrated in the east. In recent weeks, these sites have repeatedly come under missile and drone attacks by Yemeni forces, raising concerns about regional stability and global energy security.
The majority of Saudi Arabia's oil and gas resources are located in the eastern part of the country, making the region a strategically significant target. In recent weeks, these energy sites have repeatedly been the target of missile and drone attacks by Yemeni forces.
