Notes
Multiple news reports from March 2026 indicate the Riyadh refinery was struck during military attacks in the Middle East conflict. While one headline mentions missile debris landing 'near' the refinery, the Reuters report explicitly states 'Saudi refinery...down due to Mideast strikes' and the Bloomberg headline confirms 'Refinery Attack.' The facility appears to have ceased operations following the attack.
