Saudi authorities reported that King Fahd International Airport in Dammam resumed operations after an attack involving drones; five drones were reportedly intercepted, while falling debris caused casualties. Separate strikes or attempted strikes affected oil facilities, prompting Saudi Aramco to evacuate nonessential headquarters staff and pushing Brent crude higher. The attacks come amid intensified Yemen-related military operations and wider concerns about the security of Gulf infrastructure, with the United States ordering embassy personnel and families to leave Saudi Arabia.[1][2][8][10]
