Saudi says drones launched from Iraq hit oil pipeline

Saudi Arabia on Friday said drones launched from Iraq hit the East–West pipeline and led to its closure.

The foreign ministry condemned "the targeting of the East–West pipeline in the Riyadh and Medina regions by several drones coming from Iraq, which caused human injuries and damage".

"The pipeline was stopped as a precaution, and the attacks resulted in some injuries," an energy ministry official told the SPA news agency earlier.
