Critical infrastructure attack disrupts Middle East oil supply. A drone strike hit Abu Dhabi National Oil Company's Ruwais complex, triggering a fire at a facility capable of refining 922,000 barrels daily. The attack represents escalating regional tensions following Iranian strikes on neighboring countries in response to US-Israeli military action. No injuries reported, but the incident compounds existing supply concerns as shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which carries roughly one-fifth of global oil flows, has nearly halted. These geopolitical disruptions are likely to pressure crude prices higher and impact energy markets worldwide as critical refining capacity faces operational uncertainty.
