Saudi Arabia's key oil pipeline system was attacked by drones, causing damage to some pumping stations

--

The Saudi East West oil pipeline system was hit by a missile attack, and satellite images showed that the pump station was damaged by fire. Drones came from the direction of Iraq. It is currently unclear whether the responsible party for the attack, the oil pipeline itself, and the repair time are affected. Saudi Arabia has diverted approximately 5 million barrels per day of crude oil through the pipeline to the port of Yanbu in the Red Sea, and the Houthi militants claim to strike Saudi ships passing through the Strait of Mandeb.
