Saudi Energy Ministry Condemns Attack against Petroleum Products Station

The Saudi Energy Ministry said that a petroleum products station in Jizan was attacked with a projectile, causing a fire at one of its tanks.

No one was injured in the attack, said an official source at the ministry.

In remarks to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the source said the Kingdom condemns this “cowardly” act of sabotage that is aimed at vital installations.

The attack not only targets the Kingdom, but oil exports and the global economy, energy supplies and trade.

The attack also undermines marine navigation and exposes regional waters and coasts to major environmental disasters that could result from these acts, it warned.
