Attack on oil pipe in Saudi Arabia
133
In Saudi Arabia there is an attack. Drones fly into an important oil pipe. The pipe is the East West pipe. It moves oil from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea. The pipe is over 1200 kilometers long.
The drones probably start in Iraq. The attack hurts several people. There is also damage at pump stations. Satellite pictures show fire and black smoke. Saudi Arabia now turns off the pipe. This is a safety step.
The pipe is very important for trade. Ships cannot drive through the Strait of Hormuz right now. This is because of fights between the USA, Israel and Iran. Iraq wants to look into the attack. Saudi Arabia waits with an answer. Car drivers in Germany worry now. The gas can soon cost more.
