Saudi Arabia Blames Iran-Backed Militias for Abqaiq Facility Attack

A fire broke out at Saudi Aramco's Abqaiq oil facility following a drone attack that Saudi officials have attributed to Iran-backed militias.

The Houthis have claimed responsibility for the strike, which targeted critical oil infrastructure and disrupted regional energy transport routes.

This escalation has prompted Saudi Arabia to bolster its defensive measures while international observers monitor the impact on global oil supply chains.
