East-west pipeline targeted in Madina region: Saudi Arabia
Riyadh: Saudi Arabia’s Energy Ministry said an attack on Monday, November 9, in the Madina region caused a “limited fire” that was quickly extinguished. Operations were not affected, and there were no casualties, the ministry said. It did not identify who was behind the attack.
The Houthis, who have repeatedly targeted Saudi infrastructure and exchanged attacks with the kingdom in recent months, did not immediately comment.
The incident came a day after falling debris from intercepted missiles damaged several floors of a Saudi Aramco office tower in Riyadh’s financial district. The Houthis subsequently claimed responsibility for the attack on the capital.
The pipeline, which is critical for passing through the Strait of Hormuz, has come under attack multiple times during the war in Iran. It runs 1,200km through the deserts across the Arabian Peninsula.
