The source emphasized that "the Kingdom strongly condemns this cowardly attack, and affirms that the terrorist and sabotage acts, which are repeatedly committed against vital installations and civilian sites, the last of which was the attempt to target the Ras Tanura refinery and the Saudi Aramco residential neighborhood in Dhahran."

The source renewed a call on the world’s countries and organizations to stand "against these terrorist and sabotage attacks, and to confront all parties that carry them out or support them."




“An official source at the Saudi Ministry of Energy: Control of the fire in the refinery, no injuries or deaths, and the supply of petroleum and its derivatives were not affected,” they would add.

Earlier today, the spokesperson for the Houthi-aligned Yemeni armed forces, Yahya Sare’e, announced that the Ansarallah Movement (Houthi forces) targeted the Saudi Aramco facilities near Riyadh with six drones.

Sare’e said that the Houthi drones hit their intended targets, causing significant damage to the sites; this was not corroborated by the Saudi Ministry of Defense.
