Jizan Oil Hub Under Pressure from Fresh Attack

Saudi Aramco's Jizan oil hub was hit again by an attack on Monday, with the extent of the damage still being assessed.

The Jizan complex includes a 400,000-barrel-per-day refinery, one of Saudi Arabia's largest, as well as associated processing plants and energy infrastructure.

This latest incident is similar in scale to last month's strike, which temporarily disrupted production at the Saudi energy giant's refinery in the same area.

The attack comes against a backdrop of renewed Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, with the rebels declaring a blockade of Saudi ports on the Red Sea in July and launching a series of drone and missile attacks against energy infrastructure.
