Saudi Aramco has shut its Ras Tanura refinery following a drone strike, an industry source said on Monday.

The shutdown comes as Tehran launched strikes across the region in response to a U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran. The drone strike on Ras Tanura is part of escalating tensions that have affected regional oil infrastructure. Aramco has not provided an official statement about the incident or the downtime. The impact on oil production and exports from the refinery remains unclear. Meanwhile, market watchers are monitoring the situation for any further developments affecting global energy supplies.
