Fourteen killed in Saudi Arabia helicopter crash

All 14 people on board a helicopter belonging to Saudi state oil giant Aramco have been killed after it crashed in the eastern coastal city of Ras Tanura, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday. The aircraft came down at 06:00 local time (03:00 GMT), with all victims confirmed as Saudi citizens. Investigations are under way to determine the cause of the crash. Saudi Arabia’s energy ministry shared its condolences with the families of those killed. Ras Tanura is home to a major Aramco oil refinery, one of the largest in the Middle East. The Reuters news agency reported that the company had resumed crude oil loading at the site on Friday after an almost four-month pause due to the war in the Middle East.
