‘Hostile operation’ targeted Aramco facility in Jeddah: Arab Coalition

The Arab Coalition said that a “hostile” operation by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi militia targeted an Aramco oil facility in Jeddah on Friday.

The attack which targeted a petroleum products distribution station resulted in a fire in two tanks, the coalition said, adding that the fire was brought under control.

No fatalities or injuries resulted from the attack.

“This hostile escalation targets oil facilities [and aims] to affect the security of energy,” the coalition said, adding that the Houthis target oil facilities in an attempt to impact “the artery of global economy.”

The coalition added that the Houthis’ attacks had no impact or repercussions on ordinary life in Jeddah.
