An explosion ripped through the oil pipeline near the village of Buri some 15 kilometers from the capital of Bahrain, Manama, on November 10, 2017. An oil fire broke out on Bahrain's only pipeline from Saudi Arabia, temporarily halting oil supplies from its neighbor. No one was injured in the explosion, and there was no claim of responsibility for it. Evidence gathered by the inspection team confirmed that this was an intentional act undertaken by terrorists.
