A vital oil pipeline was attacked, prompting its closure. The pipeline, known as the East-West pipeline, was hit by drones on Thursday, resulting in injuries and some damage. The pipeline was shut down as a precautionary measure.

The incident has occurred during a time of turmoil in energy markets and significant disruptions to maritime transport. Tensions with Iran are ongoing, with allies of Tehran recently taking control of a key island and port in the Red Sea.

US President Donald Trump has suggested that Iran was likely behind the attack on the pipeline. Further details about the incident and its aftermath are available from the source.
