A fire that erupted at a facility owned by the Saudi Arabian oil giant Aramco in the coastal city of Jizan has been successfully extinguished, according to the Saudi Ministry of Energy. The incident occurred early on Sunday and reportedly caused no casualties. Authorities are currently working to manage the aftermath of the fire. The Houthi armed group, a Yemen-based faction backed by Iran, claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that they targeted the Aramco refinery in Jizan with a drone. This strike was in response to alleged breaches of airspace in Saada and Hajjah provinces by Saudi Arabia, according to a military spokesman for the Houthis. The Saudi government has yet to comment on this claim. Recent attacks on Aramco facilities have resulted in some production disruptions, but Amin Nasser, Aramco's chief, expressed confidence that operations can be restored quickly with minimal impact on the company's overall operations and finances. These attacks contribute to escalating tensions in a 2022 truce between the Houthis and Yemen's internationally recognized government, which is backed by Saudi Arabia. The Houthis have also imposed a blockade on Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea and threatened shipping through the Bab al-Mandeb strait. Furthermore, Saudi authorities have accused Iran-aligned armed groups in Iraq of attacks on their oil facilities. In response to regional tensions, Saudi Arabia recently signed a defense pact with Turkiye and Pakistan.
