An official spokesman at the Ministry of Energy stated that at around 04:40 AM of yesterday, the Riyadh oil refinery was attacked by a drone, resulting in a small fire that has been brought under control. The attack did not result in any injury or death nor was the supply of oil or its derivatives affected.
In his statement, the spokesman stressed that the Kingdom strongly condemns this cowardly attack.
The Kingdom asserts that such acts of sabotage and terrorism, repeatedly committed against vital installations and civilian facilities, do not target the Kingdom alone, but more broadly the security and stability of energy supply to the world, and thus negatively affecting the global economy.
The spokesman renewed the Kingdom's call to all nations and organizations of the world to stand together against such acts of sabotage and terrorism, and to stop all groups carrying out or supporting these attacks.
