Saudi Arabia said that several energy facilities in the south of the country were suspended after the attack triggered fires. This is the latest escalation in the situation in the region bordering Yemen. According to Saudi Arabia's official news agency, quoting an unnamed Ministry of Energy official, the attack occurred on Tuesday, and many people were injured. The report did not disclose the names of the facilities that were attacked. The Saudi Ministry of Energy and Saudi Aramco have made no further comments on the matter. Since the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen announced that they would block Saudi oil shipments in retaliation for Riyadh's siege of the Yemeni capital Sana'a, a series of attacks have occurred in southwestern Saudi Arabia. Oil facilities in Jizan were attacked again on Monday. A refinery with a daily processing capacity of 400,000 barrels has been shut down since the attack in early July.
