amman, June 29 -- A helicopter crash in Saudi Arabia killed 14 Saudi citizens on Sunday, the kingdom's official press agency reported, adding that the aircraft belonged to state oil giant Aramco.
The Saudi Press Agency, citing an energy ministry official, reported the helicopter crashed in Ras Tanura.
An investigation was under way to determine the cause of the crash, the agency said.
Ras Tanura is at the centre of the kingdom's energy industry, hosting the country's biggest refinery and critical oil export infrastructure. Aramco had only just days earlier resumed loading crude at the terminals in the area for shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, after keeping the facilities shut since the Iran war started on February 28.P13
