  "textContent": "A helicopter belonging to Saudi oil giant Aramco crashed on Sunday in Ras Tanura on Saudi Arabia’s eastern coast west of the Strait of Hormuz, killing 14 nationals, the state news agency reported, adding that the cause was unknown.\n\nAramco had resumed crude oil loadings on Friday at its Ras Tanura terminal in the Gulf after they were halted for nearly four months.\n\n“Investigations are under way, with the participation of relevant authorities, to determine the causes of the helicopter crash,” the state news agency added.\n\nAramco did not respond immediately to an emailed request for comment.\n\nThe incident took place at 6am local time (0300 GMT), the state news agency said, without providing further details.\n\nSaudi Arabia, the world’s biggest oil exporter, has joined a rush to move cargoes after Middle East producers ramped up oil and gas output and exports ahead of an interim deal to halt the war between the United States and Iran.\n\n* * *\n\n_This is a developing story that is being updated as the situation evolves. Initial reports in the media can sometimes be inaccurate. We will strive to ensure timeliness and accuracy by relying on credible sources, such as concerned, qualified authorities and our staff reporters._",
