Karachi: Saudi oil company Aramco has reportedly suspended the sale of petroleum products at its fuel stations across Pakistan after its available fuel stocks ran out amid disruptions linked to the ongoing situation in the Middle East.

According to Minute Mirror fuel sales have been halted at Aramco-operated petrol stations in Karachi and other parts of the country. The reported suspension follows interruptions in fuel supplies allegedly caused by regional tensions and attacks by Yemen’s Houthi group on Saudi facilities.

The disruption has affected the availability of petroleum products at the company’s outlets leaving motorists unable to purchase fuel from the affected stations.

Customers visiting Aramco petrol pumps sought clarification from station staff about the suspension. However employees reportedly said they had no information about when supplies would resume.

The uncertainty has raised concerns among consumers who rely on these stations for their daily fuel needs. The reported supply interruption also highlights the potential impact of escalating regional tensions on petroleum distribution and fuel availability in Pakistan.

No timeline for the restoration of supplies was provided in the report. Further details about the extent of the disruption the number of affected stations and arrangements for replenishing fuel stocks were also not immediately available.

The reported development comes as instability in the Middle East continues to create concerns about energy supply routes and the availability of petroleum products in regional markets.

The reported suspension concerns Aramco fuel stations and should not be interpreted as a nationwide halt in petrol sales across Pakistan.
