A huge refinery closed. Iranian drone attack on Ruwais

The Ruwais oil refinery in the United Arab Emirates, one of the largest in the world, suspended production on Tuesday due to a drone attack near the plant, the AFP news agency reported, citing a source familiar with the matter.

Since February 28, when the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran, the authorities in Tehran have responded with attacks on American interests in the region, but also on civilian infrastructure in the countries of the Persian Gulf region, especially energy and airports.

The Ruwais refinery, managed by the state-owned company Adnoc, had to stop working because a fire broke out in the industrial zone where the plant is located after a drone attack. – said the source.

The war affected many countries in the region. On Monday, as a result of an Iranian attack, a fire broke out in an oil complex in the city of Ma'ameer in Bahrain. Part of the Saudi Ras Tanura complex, managed by the Saudi Aramco fuel company, also had to interrupt work. This facility is located in Rahima, Saudi Arabia. (PAP)
