Arabia Saudí dice que dos de sus petroleros fueron dañados en ataques de sabotaje

May 13, 2019 - Cuatro buques mercantes, incluidos dos buques petroleros saudíes fueron saboteados la mañana del domingo cerca del emirato de Fuyaira, uno de los mayores centros de abastecimiento de combustibles justo fuera del Estrecho de Ormuz.

Saudi Arabia says “significant damage” was caused to its two vessels, one of them as it was en route to pick up Saudi oil to take to the United States.

The announcement by the kingdom’s energy minister, Khalid al-Falih, came as the U.S. issued a new warning to sailors and the UAE’s regional allies condemned the reported sabotage Sunday of four ships off the coast of the port city of Fujairah.

The U.S. has warned ships that “Iran or its proxies” could be targeting maritime traffic in the region. America is deploying an aircraft carrier and B-52 bombers to the Persian Gulf to counter alleged threats from Tehran.
