A fuel transport ship was attacked by an explosive-laden boat in the fuel terminal in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia early on Monday, the Kingdom’s Ministry of Energy said, according to state news agency SPA.
“The attack resulted in a small fire, which emergency units successfully extinguished. The incident did not result in any casualties, and there was no damage caused to the unloading facilities, nor any effect on supplies,” the ministry spokesman said.
An official source at the ministry condemned the attack, saying it took place less than two months after an attack against an oil distribution facility in northern Jeddah and a floating platform of an oil distribution station in Jazan.
These “sabotage terrorist acts against vital installations not only target the Kingdom, but the security and stability of global energy supplies,” it added.
