- An Aramco helicopter crashed near Ras Tanura, killing 14 Saudi citizens.
- Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the crash.
An Aramco helicopter crashed in Ras Tanura on Saudi Arabia's eastern coast, west of the Strait of Hormuz, killing 14 Saudi citizens, according to the state-run Saudi Press Agency.
The cause of the crash was not immediately known. Authorities said an investigation is under way, with the participation of the relevant agencies, to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The crash comes after Aramco resumed crude oil loadings at its Ras Tanura export terminal on Friday following a nearly four-month suspension linked to the US-'Israel' war on Iran. Saudi Arabia has since accelerated oil exports as regional producers increase shipments under a temporary agreement aimed at halting the conflict.
