Satellite Images Show Smoke Near Saudi Arabia's East-West Oil Pipeline Amid Possible Houthi Attack
Satellite images show smoke near Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline, suggesting a possible attack by Houthi rebels, though Saudi authorities have not confirmed any incident. The pipeline, vital for transporting crude from the eastern coast to the Red Sea, serves as an alternative route bypassing the Strait of Hormuz amid regional tensions involving the US and Iran. Analysts and regional observers have noted the smoke, but independent verification remains limited.
