The Pipeline Is Shut. The Island Is Gone. Iraq Says the Drones Came From Its Own Soil.

On Thursday morning, drones hit Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline in the Riyadh and Medina regions. People were hurt and equipment was damaged. On Friday the Energy Ministry shut the line as a precaution. That pipe is not a side project. It runs about 1,200 kilometers from the eastern oil fields to the Red Sea, mostly to Yanbu, and it has been moving four to five million barrels a day! Which contributes to roughly four to five percent of the world’s oil.
