Fresh security concerns are emerging in Saudi Arabia after a fire at a Saudi Aramco facility in Jazan and reports of an explosion and fire at energy infrastructure in Jubail. Saudi authorities said the Jazan fire was extinguished with no injuries, while Yemen’s Houthis claimed they carried out a drone attack on an Aramco facility in the region. Separately, reports from Israeli media alleged that the Houthis targeted a gas facility in Al Jubail, although Saudi authorities have not officially confirmed responsibility for that incident. The developments are raising new questions about the vulnerability of Saudi Arabia’s vital oil and gas infrastructure amid escalating regional tensions.
