An emergency meeting with industry experts and major Korean oil firms was held earlier today.

The foreign ministry expressed concern over the drone strikes,... deeming them a "serious threat" to global energy security.
Seoul will keep a close eye on further announcements from the Saudi government, as well as from Aramco.
