The International Coalition intercepted five explosive-laden drones targeting the vicinity of a U.S. military base in Erbil, Iraq. While no casualties were reported, the incident marks a continued pattern of drone attacks against coalition assets in the Kurdistan region.
Houthi forces have claimed responsibility for missile and drone strikes on Saudi Arabian oil infrastructure in Jizan, causing fires. These attacks follow Saudi-led coalition airstrikes on Houthi positions in Hodeida, Yemen, in retaliation for Houthi attacks on Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea. The extent of damage and casualties from the recent strikes remains largely unverified, but the pattern indicates a significant escalation in regional hostilities.
