Saudi Arabia's Energy Ministry said Saturday pumping of oil to Bahrain had been suspended after a terrorist attack on a major pipeline.
The ministry is stepping up security precautions at its own facilities after the incident, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported in a tweet.
"The attack on the pipeline ... was followed by the suspension of the pumping of oil to the State of Bahrain," said the Saudi Ministry of Energy, Industry and Mineral Resources.
"The ministry also confirmed that it has increased its security precautions at all its facilities, and that all these facilities enjoy the highest levels of protection and safety," it added in a statement.
The ministry also denounced the hostile act targeting the pipeline in Buri village, some 15 km from Bahrain’s capital Manama.
The ministry lauded the capabilities of Bahraini authorities in dealing with the incident in record time, stressing its readiness to support the energy sector in Bahrain, according to SPA.
