US EditionDrone Strike Hits Bahrain Refinery as Crack Spreads Surge
Iranian missile strike ignites fires at Bahrain Petroleum Company's refinery; fire contained with limited damage and no casualties, while diesel margins surged over $100 per metric ton.

- Authorities have yet to release a full damage assessment as markets await clarity after several large fires at the Bahrain Petroleum Company primary refinery in Ma'ameer industrial area, which hosts BAPCO refining operations and nearby factories.
