A fire broke out early on August 9 at a facility belonging to Saudi Aramco’s Jazan refinery in southwestern Saudi Arabia. Industrial firefighting teams from the company successfully extinguished the blaze, and the Saudi Energy Ministry confirmed that no injuries were reported. The ministry did not provide details on the cause of the fire. However, local media noted that Yemeni Houthi groups had previously claimed responsibility for an attack on energy infrastructure in the vicinity of Jazan, raising concerns about potential disruptions to oil infrastructure.
