SANAA (Reuters) - Yemen resumed pumping crude through its main export pipeline after repair works were completed, the interior ministry said on Wednesday, after saboteurs blew it up on Monday, halting flows and disrupting an important source of revenue.

Yemen's oil and gas pipelines have repeatedly been sabotaged by tribesmen feuding with the state since anti-government protests led to a power vacuum in 2011, causing fuel shortages and slashing export earnings.
