Saudi Arabia has shut down its largest domestic oil refinery following a drone strike, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The closure comes as escalating military exchanges between Israel, the United States and Iran continue to disrupt energy infrastructure across the Middle East.

The widening conflict has forced the shutdown of several oil and gas facilities in the region, raising concerns about supply stability and energy security.

In Egypt, authorities have reported fuel and gas supply disruptions, resulting in temporary power rationing measures to manage shortages.

Energy analysts warn that continued attacks on key infrastructure could further strain regional production and impact global oil markets if the situation persists.
