Saudi Aramco shuts Ras Tanura refinery after drone strike – Reuters

Saudi Arabia's state oil giant Aramco shut its Ras Tanura refinery following a drone strike, Reuters reported citing an industry source, after Tehran launched strikes across the region in response to the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran.

The Ras Tanura complex, on the kingdom's Gulf coast, houses one of the Middle East's largest refineries with a capacity of 550,000 barrels per day (bpd) and serves as a critical export terminal for Saudi crude, according to Reuters.
