Summary

Yemen's Houthis claimed missile and drone strikes on Saudi Aramco facilities including a pumping station east of Riyadh on the East-West oil pipeline on October 5, 2026. Satellite imagery shows smoke stretching 50km from the pumping station. Reports differ on operational impact: one account states the pipeline was halted following the attack, while others indicate it was briefly halted but resumed normal operations, with the pipeline flowing normally by October 6. Saudi Aramco and the energy ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The attack was not confirmed by Saudi officials.
