Yemen’s Armed Forces Target Saudi Arabia’s East-West Oil Pipeline

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Yemen‘s armed forces have declared responsibility for a drone attack on pumping station number 7 of the East-West oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia. The statement indicated that the operation was successfully executed and achieved its intended target.

This latest strike follows an earlier announcement by Yemeni forces regarding an attack on the Aramco oil company facilities in Riyadh using drones. The East-West pipeline is a critical artery for Saudi Arabia, transporting oil from the eastern regions to the port of Yanbu on the Red Sea coast. The strategic importance of this pipeline is amplified during periods of restricted tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

In recent days, the Yemeni armed forces have conducted multiple operations against Saudi Arabia’s oil and economic infrastructure.
