> Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman says the East-West Pipeline has restored pumping capacity to 5.8 million barrels per day after a major attack last month. The 1,200km link carries oil from eastern fields to Yanbu on the Red Sea, allowing Saudi Arabia to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.
