On 12 September, Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief Ali Falih al-Zaidi removed Maysan’s police chief, transferred provincial security directors to the command pool and referred them for investigation. Commander-in-Chief spokesman Sabah al-Numan said the orders followed recent security breaches in Maysan; press reports tied those breaches to drones launched from the province against Saudi Arabia’s East–West Pipeline. Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official) described the measures as government punishment imposed before completion of the investigation.
