The Houthi insurgents of Yemen claimed this Sunday to have carried out an attack with unmanned aerial vehicles against a refinery of the oil company Saudi Aramco in Jizan, a port in the southwest of Saudi Arabia near the Yemeni border, where a fire has occurred.
"The Yemeni forces, by the grace of God, have managed to attack the Aramco refinery in Jizan with a drone, and the impact has been precise. This attack comes in response to the incursion of the Saudi enemy with its drones in the airspace of the provinces of Saada and Haya," indicated in a message published on social networks their military spokesman, Yahya Sari.
The Saudi Ministry of Energy had pointed out that firefighting teams managed to extinguish in the early hours of Sunday a fire declared in one of the facilities associated with the Saudi Aramco refinery in Jizan, and specified that the incident has not caused casualties.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have held the Houthis and their allies responsible for the intensification of clashes, insisting that they will respond to any new offensive and warning that any new violation will be met with military operations deemed appropriate, according to the orders of the political and military authorities of the country.
