A helicopter crashed in Saudi Arabia, killing 14 people.
The helicopter belonged to the oil giant Aramco. The company had resumed crude oil loading operations after a four-month hiatus.
According to the Saudi Arabian state news agency, a helicopter belonging to the country's oil giant Aramco crashed on June 28 in the Ras Tanura area on the eastern coast of the country, reports Reuters.
It was reported that the helicopter crashed around 06:00 local time. The incident resulted in the deaths of 14 Saudi citizens. The causes of the crash are currently unknown.
The state news agency announced that relevant authorities have launched a full investigation into the incident. Aramco has not yet responded to inquiries sent regarding the event.
It was noted that Aramco had resumed crude oil loading operations at the Ras Tanura terminal in the Persian Gulf on Friday, after a hiatus lasting nearly four months.
According to the report, Saudi Arabia is considered one of the world's largest oil exporters. The country, among producers in the Middle East, has increased its oil and gas production and export volumes amid a temporary agreement aimed at halting the war between the US and Iran.
