> Saudi Arabia’s Energy Ministry says sections of the East-West oil pipeline near Medina and Riyadh were shut down as a precaution after several attacks, which injured several people. Houthi rebels claimed responsibility, while U.S. intelligence sources did not rule out drone strikes from Iraq by pro-Iranian groups.
