Gigantic nets, like spider webs just hanging over the refineries.
People are getting the wrong idea with the article calling them drones. In the past the Houthi rebels have used loitering munitions to strike targets deep inside Saudi Arabia. These are military UAVs with a 30 kg warhead. They probably used something like this, not a DJI bought online:
Where do you draw the distinction between cruise missile and drone, anyway? They're both autonomous aircraft flying to a pre-set destination. Isn't a cruise missile just a specialized form of drone now? If you make a drone like that one in the picture that has an internal bomb and can fly to a target on its own, isn't it a cruise missile already? Or does it need an actual missile engine to be that?
They're embarrassing the saudis and the americans with rather cheap cost while the high tech armys of KSA and it's vassals can't keep some drones from flying 900+ km through saudi airspace.

Meaning that the Houthis (the Yemenis allied to Iran) only could have carried out the attack if they have rockets which can turn mid-flight, with the other option being that the attack originated from within Iraq, Syria or possibly even Saudi Arabia itself. Third option would be that it was indeed some drones with the perpetrators specifically targeting these points on the tankers in an attempt to try to make it look like the attack was carried out from within that direction.
Please. The US will open up the spigots and flood the market, it's what we've been doing now for a few years. The Saudi's are influential in the oil market but it's not like the 70's and 80's anymore, they're no longer king of the hill
