  "summary": "The Saudi Civil Defense has lifted warnings of potential danger in four southern cities. The alerts were issued due to an increase in attacks by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis.\n\nThe development comes amid a recent drone attack that forced Saudi Arabia to shut its major east-west oil pipeline, also known as the Petroline. According to Middle East Eye, the pipeline, which runs 1,201 kilometres from the Abqaiq oil field to Yanbu at the Red Sea, may take five to six weeks to repair.\n\nThe pipeline outage has raised concerns about global oil supply, with Saudi oil buyers and traders warning that the country will run out of oil stocks for exports if it doesn't restart the pipeline soon, potentially leading to a loss of up to 4% of global supply.",
