Iraq Shuts Several Border Crossings After Saudi Pipeline Attacks
(MENAFN) Iraqi authorities close several border crossings following drone attacks on a major Saudi oil pipeline, citing administrative and security considerations as well as an ongoing investigation into reported violations.
The closures come a day after Baghdad confirms that the drones targeting Saudi Arabia were launched from a location in the southern Maysan province.
“The relevant security authorities have begun administrative and security arrangements at several border crossings, requiring their closure,” Iraq’s Security Media Cell said in a statement.
Authorities also implement “a series of necessary legal measures” while expanding intelligence operations, inspections and investigations to determine the circumstances surrounding the reported “breaches and violations that occurred at these crossings.”
The measures are aimed at clarifying what happened, addressing the issues identified and developing steps to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Iraqi authorities do not specify which border crossings have been shut, provide details about the alleged violations or indicate how long the closures will remain in effect.
