The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Friday that the attack on Thursday on the oil pipeline between the east and west of the Kingdom, which caused operations to be suspended, was carried out by drones launched from Iraq.
In a statement, the Ministry expressed "the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's strongest condemnation of the targeting of the East-West pipeline... by several drones coming from Iraq, which resulted in human injuries and some damages that are being addressed." It added, "Based on the request of the Iraqi Prime Minister to provide an opportunity for the brotherly government of Iraq to take measures to prevent attacks originating from Iraqi territory towards the Kingdom and neighboring countries, the Kingdom has chosen not to respond at this stage, and to support the efforts of the Iraqi government."
