The Saudi Ministry of Energy announced the temporary closure of the critical East-West Pipeline following a series of attacks that occurred on Thursday morning. The incidents, which impacted infrastructure in the Riyadh and Madinah provinces, resulted in several injuries among personnel, who have since received necessary medical attention. In response, specialized technical teams were deployed to secure the site and evaluate the structural integrity of the pipeline in line with established safety protocols. This strategic conduit has become increasingly vital for the nation's crude oil exports, particularly given recent geopolitical tensions affecting the Strait of Hormuz. Authorities have indicated that they are coordinating with relevant agencies to manage the situation and will provide further updates as the assessment progresses.
