Extensive fire on the Saudi oil pipeline 🔹Satellite data shows a thick column of black smoke over southern Medina in Saudi Arabia, and reports based on satellite data suggest that a large fire has occurred at one of the facilities associated with the east-west oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia. 🔹According to reports, satellite data indicates that the intensity of the fire in this area has reached over 70 megawatts of radiant energy for several hours; a level that, according to satellite data analysts, could be related to a significant leak of crude oil and its ignition under high pressure. 🔹Although no official statement has yet been issued by the army and Yemen's Ansar Allah, some users have speculated that a missile attack from Yemen on this strategic pipeline is highly possible. 🔸This pipeline transports crude oil from the Bqiq area on the Arabian Gulf coast to the port of Yanbu on the Red Sea coast, and it is considered one of the important routes for transporting Saudi oil to bypass the maritime routes of the Arabian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.
