Saudi Arabia\u2019s East-West oil pipeline, essential for bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, was attacked on Monday, but operations were unaffected, official media said, as the kingdom and Yemen\u2019s Houthis trade strikes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Saudi Press Agency<\/em> cited an official with the energy ministry as saying the pipeline was targeted in the Medinah region in the west of the country, causing a \u201climited fire\u201d that was extinguished.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo injuries or fatalities were reported, and pipeline operations were unaffected,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

The report did not say who was responsible, but Yemen\u2019s Houthis have repeatedly targeted Saudi oil infrastructure with drones and missiles.<\/p>\n

The East-West pipeline, which enables the world\u2019s largest crude exporter to get its oil to market via the Red Sea, has taken on increased significance since the outbreak of the Middle East war as Iran seeks to choke off the main route for Gulf energy shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Monday, Saudi authorities warned Riyadh residents of \u201ca hostile aerial threat\u201d, a day after an attack on a skyscraper belonging to oil giant Aramco rattled the capital\u2019s business district.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease remain calm, stay indoors or in a safe place away from windows and doors, and follow the instructions of Civil Defence,\u201d the alert said, before the warning was lifted minutes later.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia has faced near-daily strikes from the Houthis for weeks after a truce in their long-running conflict unravelled in July.<\/p>\n

The Houthis, who control large parts of Yemen, Saudi Arabia\u2019s impoverished southern neighbour, did not announce a fresh attack on Riyadh on Monday.<\/p>\n

But they did report a Saudi strike on Hodeida airport on the Red Sea, which has long been out of use.<\/p>\n

The Houthis\u2019 Almasirah<\/em> television also said the death toll from weekend Saudi strikes on a village in Sanaa province had climbed to 44, including more than 20 children.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the Houthis claimed attacks on Riyadh\u2019s business district, where witnesses said Aramco Tower was damaged.<\/p>\n

Saudi authorities said the building suffered minor damage from falling shrapnel after an \u201cattempted attack\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Houthis have repeatedly targeted Aramco tankers, refineries, storage areas and the company\u2019s headquarters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
