East-West pipeline in Saudi Arabia stops after attack

The East-West pipeline in Saudi Arabia has been temporarily halted following a new attack targeting the Khurais pumping station east of Riyadh, which led to a temporary disruption in oil pumping operations. The pipeline is vital for transporting oil from the eastern part of the kingdom to the Red Sea, and it has previously been subjected to repeated attacks since the start of the Middle East conflict, especially after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This occurs amid threats from the Houthis and their targeting of Saudi oil facilities, further escalating tensions around oil export operations in the region.
