The Saudi East-West oil pipeline is targeted according to the Saudi Ministry of Energy.
A section of Saudi Arabia's strategic east-west oil pipeline was targeted, causing a limited fire that emergency crews quickly extinguished, according to an official source at the Saudi Energy Ministry. No injuries were reported, and pipeline operations remained unaffected.
The pipeline carries crude oil from eastern Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea port of Yanbu, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz. It has become a critical export route amid disruptions in shipping through the strategic waterway.
