Saudi East-West Pipeline Halted After Attack on Khurais Pump Station

Saudi Arabia's east-west oil pipeline was shut down after an attack on a pump station in Khurais, east of Riyadh, marking the first such strike on this facility. The halt disrupts a key route for crude from eastern fields to Red Sea export terminals, though the extent of supply impact remains unclear. This escalation raises regional energy security risks and could tighten global oil markets if the outage persists.
