Riyadh: A fire that broke out at dawn on Sunday at a Saudi Aramco facility in the southwestern region of Jazan was extinguished by the company's industrial security firefighting teams, with Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Energy reporting no injuries in the incident.
"Industrial Security Firefighting Teams affiliated with Saudi Aramco extinguished a fire that broke out at dawn today, Sunday, corresponding to 26/2/1448 AH, in one of the facilities belonging to the Saudi Aramco Refinery in Jazan, with no injuries," the Saudi Ministry of Energy said in a post on X.
The development came amid reports from regional sources that Saudi energy infrastructure had been targeted.
However, there has been no official Saudi confirmation so far that the latest Jazan fire was caused by a Houthi attack.
The speculation over Saudi energy facilities coming under enemy attack comes days after Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey signed the "Mecca Joint Defence Agreement" on Friday, amid escalating tensions and conflict across West Asia.
