Saudi Aramco Helicopter Crash Kills 14 Nationals Amid Ongoing Global Tensions
A helicopter belonging to Saudi oil giant Aramco crashed on Sunday in Ras Tanura, killing 14 nationals. The incident occurred at 6 a.m. local time (0300 GMT), and the cause of the crash is unknown.
The state news agency reported that authorities have launched an investigation to determine the reason for the crash.
Aramco had recently resumed crude oil loadings at its Ras Tanura terminal after they were halted for nearly four months. The incident took place as Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest oil exporter, has increased oil and gas output ahead of a deal to halt the war between the United States and Iran.
