Saudi Aramco's Jizan Oil Facilities Hit in Fresh Strikes

Saudi Aramco's oil facilities in Jizan have been hit by another attack, just a month after a previous strike disrupted production at its refinery. The latest assault occurred on September 7, with the extent of the damage still being assessed, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Jizan, Saudi Arabia's closest major industrial city to the Yemeni border, has been targeted by Houthi rebels several times in the past. This latest strike was comparable in scale to last month's attack, one of those sources added.

Saudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser said last month that the attacks had caused some disruptions to oil production but stressed they had not had a material impact on the company's operations or finances.
