Two pumping stations along Saudi pipeline damaged in recent attack

Two pumping stations along Saudi pipeline damaged in recent attack Two pumping stations serving Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline were damaged in an attack last week, with a repair timeline unclear, according to assessments from three oil and security sources. Saudi Aramco, which operates the 1,200km-long pipeline running across the Arabian Peninsula, and Saudi Arabia's government media office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The pipeline, which has helped relieve the traffic caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, temporarily shut down on Friday after a drone attack coming from Iraq, Saudi officials have said.
