Saudi Says Fire at Aramco Refinery in Jazan Was Extinguished

Fire broke out at Saudi Aramco’s Jazan oil refinery early Sunday, and the blaze has been extinguished, the country’s energy ministry said.

No injuries were reported, the ministry said in a post on X, without providing details on the cause of the fire. Authorities “are completing necessary procedures to deal with the incident,” it said.

The blaze would be at least the second in the past month at the Aramco facility, after satellite images showed fire at a tank in the 400,000 barrel-a-day complex in late July after Yemen’s Houthis claimed to attack the plant. Jazan is located on the Red Sea in southwest Saudi Arabia.
