Summary

On November 9, 2026, an attack was reported on the East-West oil pipeline in the Medina region of Saudi Arabia. The pipeline, which crosses the Arabian Peninsula to deliver oil to the port of Yanbu on the Red Sea, experienced a limited fire that was subsequently extinguished. While NASA FIRMS satellite sensing detected heat signatures at several points along the pipeline route, Saudi officials have not confirmed the details of the incident or identified those responsible. Despite the reports of an attack, the pipeline's operations remain unaffected and no damage to the infrastructure has been reported.
