RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, April 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Saudi Arabia said on Thursday that the attacks carried out in recent weeks by Iran against the kingdom's energy infrastructure killed one person and impacted its oil production capacity. The official said the attacks killed one person -- a Saudi national -- and injured seven others, and "disrupted several production operations at key facilities". The Saudi official confirmed that one of the pumping stations on a vital east-west pipeline was hit, resulting in a reduction of 700,000 barrels per day in pumping capacity. The Saudi official said the Manifa and Khurais production facilities were also affected, cutting the kingdom's production capacity by 600,000 barrels per day (bpd). Saudi Arabia, the world's leading crude exporter, produces a little over 10 million bpd.
