A helicopter owned by Aramco, the world's largest oil company, crashed in Saudi Arabia early Friday morning, killing all 14 people on board, according to the Saudi Ministry of Energy.
Crash Details
The accident occurred around 6 a.m. local time. All 14 victims were Saudi nationals, the ministry confirmed. No further details on the cause of the crash were immediately released.
Aramco's Recent Operations
Aramco, majority-owned by the Saudi government, has been under pressure due to the ongoing Iran war, which disrupted oil supplies and raised global prices. The company recently managed to divert some oil exports to a pipeline to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, which has been affected by the conflict.
This is a developing story. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
