Twenty-eight people were killed after an explosion and fire on a gas pipeline in eastern Saudi Arabia.
Saudi national oil company Aramco said the fire broke out while contract workers were joining a new pipe to the line on the 18th of November. Five of those killed were employees of Aramco.
Saudi Aramco is the world’s largest oil producer, located on the country’s east coast, and the Hawiyah plant produces 310,000 barrels of ethane and liquefied natural gas daily.
