Saudi Arabia Repels Drone Attack on Ras Tanura Oil Refinery
(MENAFN) Saudi authorities announced on Monday that they successfully intercepted drones attempting to strike the Ras Tanura oil refinery, operated by the state-owned company Aramco.
“Two drones attempting to attack the Ras Tanura refinery this morning were intercepted and destroyed,” a Defense Ministry spokesperson said.
The official added, “A limited fire resulted from falling shrapnel during the interception operation, with no civilian casualties.” The spokesperson noted that debris from the destroyed drones landed near civilians and civilian infrastructure.
The announcement comes amid ongoing hostilities following a joint US-Israeli military operation against Iran launched on Saturday, which reportedly killed several senior Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In retaliation, Tehran has carried out drone and missile strikes targeting Israel and several Gulf nations hosting US assets.
Some reports also indicated that operations at the Ras Tanura refinery were temporarily suspended following the attempted attack.
