Saudi Aramco halted October crude deliveries to at least two European refiners after a drone attack struck Saudi Arabia's key East-West pipeline. The disruption cut off monthly supplies guaranteed under term contracts, forcing buyers to scramble for alternative barrels. The shutdown hits Red Sea crude loadings at the port of Yanbu, dealing a blow to processing margins across the continent.
