What happened
Reuters-derived reporting described the refinery as shut after a drone incident. Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Energy said debris from two intercepted drones caused limited damage and a fire that was immediately contained; some units were shut as a precaution, with no injuries, deaths or impact on local petroleum supplies. Because the sources do not establish whether the whole refinery or only some units stopped, the reported 100% shutdown is shown at moderate confidence.
