Iran hits Saudi’s Aramco’s Ras Tanura Oil refinery

Описание: Caption:
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.

It was shut as a precautionary measure and the situation is under control, the source said.

Aramco did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
The drone strike added to a ⁠wave of ⁠attacks on the Gulf, including on Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha, Manama and ⁠Oman's commercial ‌part of Duqm.

The ​strikes have paralysed major shipping hubs ‌in the United Arab Emirates and Oman and sent Brent crude futures ‌surging roughly ​10% ​on Monday (March 2).

Saudi ​Arabia's heavily fortified energy facilities have been targeted previously, most notably ​in September 2019 when unprecedented drone ⁠and missile attacks on the Abqaiq and Khurais plants temporarily knocked out more than ‌half ⁠of the kingdom's crude production and roiled global markets.
