Saudi Arabia said on Wednesday that an attempted drone strike targeted the Ras Tanura Refinery, the Kingdom’s largest oil processing facility, but caused no damage and did not disrupt supplies.
A sharp escalation in the Middle East conflict has triggered major disruptions across the region’s energy industry, with QatarEnergy announcing a halt to LNG production, Saudi Aramco shutting its Ras Tanura refinery and the shipping almost coming to a halt in Strait of Hormuz.
A drone strike has forced the temporary closure of the Ras Tanura Refinery, one of the world’s largest oil processing facilities in Saudi Arabia, dealing a fresh blow to global energy markets already on edge over escalating regional tensions.
