Mar 19, 2026 3:01 AM

March 19 (Reuters) - The Saudi port of Yanbu, one of two

major remaining export routes for Gulf Arab oil after Iran

effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz, has stopped oil loadings,

two sources told Reuters on Thursday, after the Saudi defence

ministry said it intercepted a ballistic missile over the city.

The ministry said earlier that a drone crashed at the SAMREF

refinery, with damage assessment underway.
