Five Indian nationals were evacuated to Oman after a projectile attack on a Kuwaiti tanker, according to live updates on the evolving US-Iran conflict. Saudi Arabia reported a Houthi projectile hit a school in Najran, causing damage, while the Saudi-led coalition claimed to have destroyed three missiles launched by the group. The US urged member states to enforce "snapback" UN sanctions on Iran, alongside new measures against those allegedly supporting Hamas's financing network.

Meanwhile, Saudi authorities handed over a flydubai co-pilot accused of stabbing the Indian captain during a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv. Passengers and crew overpowered the co-pilot, who dropped the Boeing 737 nearly 14,000 feet in less than 30 seconds before being safely landed at Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Over 172 passengers and crew were on board the plane.

Saudi Arabia also reported a Houthi projectile striking a school in Najran, while the coalition destroyed three missiles launched by the Houthis. Iraq allowed 40 Iranian flights a day to and from Najaf international airport, excluding Mahan Air, which is under US sanctions.
