Yemen’s Houthis claim a drone attack on Aramco’s Jazan refinery, marking the third incident since late July amid escalating regional tensions.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels said they targeted Saudi Aramco’s Jazan refinery with two drones on Thursday, the third attack on the facility since July 25. The group has previously threatened to disrupt Saudi oil flows and has expanded attacks on energy infrastructure and shipping in the region.
Neither Saudi Arabia nor Aramco has confirmed the latest strike. A source cited negligible damage to a storage tank, though details remain unverified. The Houthis have intensified their campaign against Saudi targets in recent months, raising concerns over supply chain disruptions.
The attacks come as regional instability grows, with no immediate market reaction reported. Analysts warn of potential volatility in oil prices if disruptions to Red Sea shipping or Saudi production escalate.
