RIYADH: Saudi Arabia intercepted a drone attack targeting the Ras Tanura refinery, the defense ministry said Wednesday.
“Initial estimates indicate that the attack was carried out by a drone and did not result in any damage,” the ministry said in a statement posted on X.
An official source in the Ministry of Energy stated that no damage or disruption to supplies resulted from this attempted attack.
The oil refinery at Ras Tanura, near Dammam, has been subjected to a drone attack earlier this week that caused limited fire. The refinery sustained limited damage as a result of debris from the interception of two drones in its vicinity.
