Saudi Arabia’s East-West Oil Pipeline Reportedly Attacked, Financial Times Says

The specific statement has two mutually reinforcing report-level sources fetched in this run: PANews and Jin10, both stating that the Financial Times cited two informed sources saying Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline was attacked and describing it as carrying crude from the Gulf region to the Red Sea for export. PANews and 金十数据 are secondary reports, not primary confirmation. For the contextual clause about the pipeline being a critical route for Saudi crude exports, the U.S. EIA source 'Amid regional conflict, the Strait of Hormuz remains critical oil chokepoint' independently supports that Saudi Arabia uses the East-West pipeline to bypass Hormuz and send oil to Red Sea ports, which aligns with the claim's strategic importance framing. However, I could not directly fetch a Financial Times article confirming the exact April 8 attack, and the provided X links could not be fetched. So the claim is supported but not conclusively verified from a primary source in this run.
