The attacks occurred in the Riyadh and Medina regions, and some people were injured and received medical treatment, according to the Saudi energy ministry.\n\nThe pipeline has a full pumping capacity of approximately seven million barrels per day. The shutdown was announced by the Ministry of Energy as a precautionary measure.\n\nThe attacks come amid a series of strikes traded between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthi rebels, who have taken over Yemen's western coast and several strategic islands. According to The National UAE, it is unclear who was responsible for the strike on the pipeline.",
