On Monday, drones struck one of the globe’s largest oil refineries in Saudi Arabia, leading to its closure as a massive fireball consumed the facility.

Dramatic footage captured the inferno at Ras Tanura, an oil hub belonging to Saudi Aramco, with dense plumes of smoke spiraling skyward.


Thick, dark smoke rises into a light blue sky, with white industrial structures visible below.
The Saudi Defense Ministry confirmed that two drones targeting the facility were intercepted and destroyed. Storyful

Retaliatory strikes by Iran have led to shutdowns at oil and gas facilities across the Middle East.
