Armed drones carried out attacks on two oil installations in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said.

The attacks targeted two oil pump stations on the East-West pipeline, which carries Saudi oil from the eastern province to Yanbu port, he said in statements cited by the official SPA news agency.

He said the attack has caused a fire in a pump station, which was eventually brought under control.
