The attack came ahead of state-owned oil giant Saudi Aramco's plans for what could be the largest initial public offering of stock in the world.
Two major Saudi oil refineries were set ablaze after a drone strike that was reportedly orchestrated by Yemen's Houthi rebel group. The extent of the damage was unclear, which could be critical to the state-owned oil giant Saudi Aramco's plans for what could be the largest initial public offering of stock in the world. A spokesman for the Iran-aligned Houthi group in Yemen said it had deployed 10 drones in the attacks, according to the BBC.
