A second attack in three days has targeted Saudi Arabia’s most important oil processing facility, according to multiple industry sources.
The Ras Tanura complex, operated by Saudi Aramco and home to the kingdom’s biggest domestic refinery, was hit Wednesday by what sources described as an unidentified projectile. Four separate sources confirmed the latest incident to Reuters.
Details about what specific part of the massive facility sustained damage remained unclear as of Wednesday evening. The same complex had been forced to cease operations on Monday after suffering a drone attack, according to a source familiar with the situation.
The repeated targeting of Ras Tanura represents a significant escalation in attacks on Saudi Arabia’s critical energy infrastructure.
