Earlier today, Saudi Arabia said that several drones launched from Iraqi territory had struck its East-West oil pipeline in the Riyadh and Medina regions, causing injuries and damage.
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi dismissed the commander of Maysan Operations Command after an investigation found that the attacks had been launched from inside the southern province.
