Saudi oil pipeline said to stop pumping after new attack

 Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline halted its oil pumping operations after a new attack on its critical infrastructure, AFP reported on Monday, citing a Saudi energy sector official.

"The East-West pipeline was attacked again yesterday ... A pumping station east of Riyadh in Khurais. It wasn't targeted before. There was big damage, and the pipeline stopped again," the official reportedly said.

Meanwhile, previous attacks on the key oil pipeline in the country's central Riyadh and Madinah regions caused the kingdom to stop operations, with recent reports claiming that the crude flows have been recovered to roughly 5.5 million barrels per day, or 75% of the pipeline's capacity.
