Saudi Arabia has informed its European customers of the cancellation of some crude oil shipments scheduled for loading in late September, Reuters reported citing three informed sources.

The world's largest crude oil exporter closed its East-West pipeline following a strike targeting it last week, and faces challenges from the Yemeni Armed Forces' advance in Yemen in the Red Sea area and continued shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.

Earlier, a Yemeni military source told al-Masirah TV that the Yemeni Armed Forces had carried out a targeted operation against Saudi troop concentrations, buildups, and reinforcements in the al-Jawf desert, north of the al-Kanais area.

The source said the operation followed sustained monitoring of Saudi forces and affiliated armed groups along the border and desert fronts, and that the strikes achieved direct hits after the targeted formations' movements had been tracked and intelligence reconnaissance completed.
