Smoke Detected Near Key Saudi Oil Pipeline Amid Regional Tensions

Satellite imagery has detected smoke near Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline, but the Saudi government has yet to confirm any incident in the area.

The East-West Pipeline is a critical artery for Saudi Arabia, carrying crude oil from its eastern coast to the Red Sea via the Western Coast. Since the outbreak of war, Aramco has increased flows through this pipeline to bypass the Strait of Hormuz after Iran effectively blocked it.
