Attacks on important oil pipe

132

Drones attack Saudi-Arabia. The drones come from Iraq. They hit an important oil pipe. The pipe has the name East-West-Pipeline. It is over 1200 kilometers long. It brings oil to the Red Sea.

People have injuries from the attacks. Buildings also have damage. Saudi-Arabia stops the pipe now. This is a safety action. The country waits with a counter attack. Iraq gets time for own checks.

Iraq fires a military boss. He is responsible for the region of the drones. Iraq also closes a border to Iran. The border has the name Shalamcheh. This stops new attacks.

The oil pipe is very important. People use it because other sea ways are closed. An example is the Strait of Hormuz. There are often fights between the USA and Iran. Saudi-Arabia is a very important oil producer.
