  "summary": "Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry has condemned the targeting of the Qatari LNG tanker Al Mayeda in the Arabian Gulf and called for international maritime security, according to Ajel English.\n\nThe Hindu reports that flight disruptions between India and Saudi Arabia are continuing due to the security situation in the kingdom. Akasa Air has extended the suspension of its services to Jeddah until November 18, while flights to and from Riyadh remain suspended until November 30. This follows announcements from Air India and Air India Express that flights to Jeddah, Riyadh, and Dammam would be suspended until November 14.\n\nThese disruptions occur amid attacks on airports and other civilian and critical infrastructure. The Indian Embassy in Riyadh stated that an attack on King Fahd International Airport in Dammam on October 21 killed one Indian national and injured two others. Additionally, an Indian national was injured during an attack on Saudi Aramco’s Shaybah oil field in the Eastern Province. In the Riyadh region, Saudi authorities reported intercepting a \"hostile drone,\" though no information is available regarding who launched it.",
