Drone Debris Kills Two, Injures Indian at Saudi Aramco Shaybah Oil Field
Debris from an intercepted drone targeting Saudi Aramco's Shaybah oil field in southeastern Saudi Arabia killed two foreign workers—a Filipino and a Nepali national—and injured two others, including an Indian and a Pakistani national. The falling debris ignited a fire in a contractor's vehicle, but operations at the facility were unaffected. Saudi authorities have not identified the drone's origin, though attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels have increased amid renewed conflict in Yemen. The US has ordered embassy staff to leave Saudi Arabia amid rising regional tensions.
