The Saudi Ministry of Energy said on Friday it dealt with a limited fire on Wednesday that broke out near a floating platform belonging to the Jazan oil products terminal.
The limited fire on the platform's floating hoses caused no injuries or fatalities, a ministry official said in remarks carried by the state news agency (SPA).
The fire occurred after the Coalition to Fight Legitimacy in Yemen intercepted and destroyed two explosive-laden boats in the southern Red Sea launched by the Houthi militias.
"Such criminal acts directed against vital facilities do not target the Kingdom alone, but they also target the security of oil exports, the stability of energy supplies to the world, the freedom of international trade, and the entire global economy," the official said.
