Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said that oil pumped through the East-West Pipeline, which runs to the kingdom’s Red Sea export hub of Yanbu, reached 5.8 million barrels, Reuters reports.

Oil flows through the Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline have not been interrupted, a source told Reuters on Monday, following media reports of a recent disruption and amid hostilities between Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthis.

Saudi Arabia restarted operations at the East-West Pipeline, three sources briefed on the matter said, after drone attacks, which Saudi Arabia has blamed on Iraqi militias, forced the kingdom to shut the pipeline on September 11 and halted crude loadings at Yanbu.
