Saudi Oil Terminal Hit by Ballistic Missiles from Yemen

Reports are emerging that ballistic missiles have struck an ARAMCO oil terminal in Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast, specifically at Jazan City for Primary and Downstream Industries. The suspected target is Aramco's marine terminal just north of the main city.

The incident reportedly involved at least five ballistic missiles fired from locations across the Yemeni border. This marks a significant escalation in the conflict between Saudi Arabia and Houthi rebels, who have been threatening attacks on oil infrastructure.

If confirmed, this would be the first strike on Saudi oil infrastructure since the Houthis declared their blockade and promised 'escalation with escalation' after the Hodeidah strikes. The region has been bracing for such an attack, which could disrupt global energy supplies and have far-reaching economic consequences.
