Yemen's Houthis say they attacked Saudi Aramco Jazan refinery, fire extinguished
Aramco said the fire was extinguished and no injuries were reported, while the Houthis claimed a drone strike in response to Saudi airspace violations.
- On Sunday, Saudi Aramco's industrial security teams extinguished a fire at the Jazan refinery, with the Saudi Energy Ministry reporting no injuries in the incident.
- The Jazan refinery processes 400,000 barrels of crude oil per day, producing petrol and ultra-light sulfur diesel as critical components of the Kingdom's energy infrastructure.
- Renewed tensions persist between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-aligned Houthi movement, which declared a Red Sea naval blockade last month citing an alleged Saudi siege of Yemen, a claim that Riyadh rejects.
- Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey signed the "Mecca Joint Defence Agreement" on Friday to strengthen military cooperation and bolster collective deterrence against regional security threats across West Asia.
- Saudi officials have not identified the fire's cause, though Aramco chief Amin Nasser noted last week that previous facility attacks caused minor production interruptions with no material operational or financial impact.
