SUMMARY

New satellite images confirm damage and thick smoke rising at Ras Tanura, one of the world’s largest oil refining and export facilities in Saudi Arabia.

The images document yesterday’s Iranian drone attack on the strategic complex.

Saudi Arabia’s state oil giant Aramco immediately shut down the refinery after a blaze erupted.

Videos circulating on social media showed intense flames and heavy black smoke billowing from the site.

Saudi defense ministry officials stated two Iranian drones targeted Ras Tanura and were intercepted.

They described the resulting fire as limited, caused by falling shrapnel during the interception operation.
