WHAT HAPPENED
A drone strike hit Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline, which is expected to remain non-operational for weeks. The prolonged outage affects a major oil transport route, although its full impact on exports is not specified.
SO WHAT?
A weeks-long shutdown of a major Saudi oil route could constrain supply and intensify global energy-market pressure.
