The Saudi Ministry of Energy announced that the East-West pipeline, which transports oil from Bqek to Yanbu and has a maximum capacity of approximately 7 million barrels per day, has been temporarily halted following drone attacks targeted at it in the Riyadh and Medina regions. The pipeline, owned and operated by Aramco, aims to enhance Saudi Arabia's oil export security and reduce reliance on the Strait of Hormuz, especially as maritime traffic through the strait is expected to decline in 2026. The precautionary shutdown comes amid escalating tensions in the Red Sea and is a temporary measure to ensure the safety of the pipeline's operations. The duration of the suspension or the extent of the damage has not yet been determined.
