Second Drone Attack on Saudi Aramco Ras Tanura Refinery in Two Days

A drone struck Saudi Arabia's Ras Tanura oil refinery for the second time in two days, Saudi defense officials confirmed Wednesday. The Saudi Defense Ministry stated that the attack did not damage the facility but confirmed it was carried out by a drone. The Ras Tanura refinery, operated by Saudi Aramco, was previously struck by an Iranian drone on Tuesday, March 3, forcing a temporary shutdown and sending oil prices surging. The repeated targeting of Gulf energy infrastructure underscores the expanding reach of Iran-linked strikes against regional oil assets amid the ongoing conflict.
