Saudi Arabia’s East-West oil pipeline was targeted in the western Medina region on Monday, sparking a limited fire, an Energy Ministry official said, according to Anadolu Agency.
No injuries or fatalities were reported, and operations at the pipeline were not affected, the official said in a statement carried by the state-run Saudi Press Agency.
Emergency response teams and specialized technical crews began work immediately after the incident and took measures to secure the site, the official added.
The incident came amid continued military escalation between the Saudi-led coalition supporting Yemen’s internationally recognized government and the Houthi group, which has repeatedly launched missile and drone attacks toward Saudi territory.
