France to send troops to protect Saudi oil port of Yanbu

France will deploy soldiers, radars and defence systems to protect Saudi Arabia's Yanbu oil terminal after Houthi attacks, President Macron said. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkiye are arranging urgent military talks under their Mecca Joint Defence Agreement. The Houthis claimed strikes on Aramco facilities in Yanbu and a Riyadh target; Saudi forces intercepted six ballistic missiles. Brent crude briefly topped $108 a barrel.
