50 firefighting teams are working to put out the Aramco fire in Jeddah
Efforts to extinguish the fire that broke out at the Aramco oil distribution station are continuing today, Saturday, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
According to the correspondent of Al-Arabiya channel, 50 field teams are working to put out the fire, and that the civil defense and firefighting teams are working to control the Aramco plant fire in Jeddah, and that the fire is expected to be brought under control within hours.
While direct pictures from the Aramco station, which was attacked on Friday, showed the rising flames and smoke.
An official source in the Saudi Ministry of Energy said, on Friday, that the petroleum products distribution station in northern Jeddah, was attacked at 5:25 pm today, Friday, 22 Shaaban 1443 AH, corresponding to March 25, 2022, with a missile attack, and the "Al-Mukhtara" station in the Al-Mukhtara area was attacked. Jazan, also at five o'clock this evening, was attacked with a rocket-propelled grenade. These criminal attacks did not result in injuries or deaths.
The source expressed Saudi Arabia's strong condemnation of these sabotage attacks, whose repeated commission against vital installations and civilian objects in different regions of the Kingdom constitutes a violation of all international laws and norms.
The source confirmed what the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had previously announced that it would not bear any responsibility for any shortage of oil supplies to global markets, in light of the continuous sabotage attacks on its oil facilities by the Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militia.
Western and Arab reactions to the Houthi terrorist attacks on Saudi Arabia continued on Friday, while the Saudi ambassador to Washington, Rima Bint Bandar, called on the international community to act against the Houthi attacks targeting global energy supplies.
Rima Bint Bandar said the Houthis continue to attack civilians and infrastructure.
The Saudi ambassador in Washington referred to the Houthis' use of Iranian-made missiles and drones to target energy facilities.
