Saudi Arabia Oil Pipeline Closed After Attacks, 'Damage at Pump Stations'
Saudi Arabia has shut down its east-west oil pipeline as a precaution after it was attacked on 2026-09-10, according to the Saudi Ministry of Energy. The 1,200-kilometer pipeline usually transports crude oil from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, bypassing the tense Strait of Hormuz. Two U.S. officials told CNN that fires broke out at two pump stations, with several people injured and receiving medical care. The attackers reportedly used drones from Iraq, but responsibility remains unclear. Saudi authorities and Aramco have not commented.
