What happened
A remotely piloted drone attacked facilities of the Yanbu Aramco Sinopec Refining Company, or YASREF, in a separate strike after the attack on Yanbu's natural-gas plant. Saudi Arabia's Energy Ministry reported a temporary reduction in refinery production but said inventory would cover the shortfall and customer supplies would continue. No casualties were reported in the wider attack wave. The marker is approximate and does not identify a verified impact coordinate.
