The Saudi Ministry of Energy announced a temporary halt of the East-West Pipeline following drone attacks in Riyadh and Medina on September 10, 2026, which resulted in injuries and material damages. The pipeline, spanning 1,200 kilometers and with a capacity of up to 7 million barrels per day, is one of Saudi Arabia’s main methods for transporting domestic oil and bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, especially amid increasing regional tensions.
