| Saudi East-West pipeline halted again after fresh attack |

| [TT] Oil flows through Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline were halted again after a fresh attack on the critical infrastructure, a source working in the kingdom’s energy sector told Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Monday. “The East-West pipeline was attacked again yesterday,” the source said. “A pumping station east of Riyadh in Khurais. It wasn’t targeted before. There was big damage and the pipeline stopped again.” The report came a day after Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis said they targeted sites in Saudi Arabia belonging to state oil giant Aramco, including infrastructure in Khurais. The East-West pipeline has been targeted several times since war erupted across the Middle East following U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran. Saudi Arabia, the world’s top oil exporter, shut the East-West pipeline last month after attacks on oil facilities originating in Iraq, home to pro-Iran armed groups. |
