"The new event mentions Iraqi authorities investigating a drone attack on oil infrastructure. Recent event 14 reports on Iraq reopening border crossings following a drone strike.

"Recent event 13 reports Houthi strikes damaging civilian infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. The new event reports Houthi strikes on a military base in Saudi Arabia.
