In Saudi Arabia, 14 people were killed after a helicopter belonging to country’s oil giant Aramco crashed today in Ras Tanura on its eastern coast on the Gulf, west of the Strait of Hormuz.
Aramco had resumed crude oil loadings on Friday at its Ras Tanura terminal in the Gulf after they were halted for nearly four months due to West Asia conflict.
According to the Saudi Ministry of Energy, all 14 victims were Saudi nationals. It added that a full investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the crash.
The helicopter, belonging to state oil giant Aramco, crashed in the eastern coastal city of Ras Tanura at 06:00 local time (03:00 GMT) killing all those on board, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
