Urgent: Company data confirms a large fire broke out earlier today along the Saudi East-West pipeline, about 90 kilometers west of Riyadh in the Najd desert. This is consistent with the Houthi statement that the pipeline was targeted, although FIRMS last detected the fire about 11 hours ago, suggesting it could be under control by now, and that the attack was some time before the Houthi announcement. Saudi authorities and other official sources have not confirmed damage to the pipeline. Coordinates of the affected substation, according to FIRMS data: 24.7975°N, 45.8298°E.
