ALBAWABA - Saudi Arabia's Aramco facility in Ras Tanura was subjected to another attack with an unknown projectile, Reuters reported Wednesday, citing two informed sources.

On March 2, videos emerged online showing smoke rising from a refinery operated by Saudi Aramco after a fire broke out in the oil facility.

Saudi officials said Monday that a fire broke out in the Aramco facility, and it was caused by debris from an intercepted Iranian missile. 

Saudi Arabia's Ras Tanura oil refinery came under attack by drones two days ago, causing a fire at the complex, authorities confirmed, blaming Iran for the attack.

However, Iran denied carrying out any attacks against Aramco's Ras Tanura facility, near Dammam, which has a capacity of over half a million barrels of crude oil a day.
