Saudi Arabia revealed on the 7th that its national oil facilities were exposed to missile and drone attacks. However, as a result of the interception, it appears that there was no effect on crude production.
The country’s Energy Department explained that a storage tank at the export terminal in Ras Tanura on the Persian Gulf coast was attacked by a drone from the Gulf side. Missile debris also fell near the homes of Saudi Aramco oil company employees.
“There were no injuries or deaths in both attacks, and there were no property losses,” a ministry spokesman said. A person familiar with the matter also said there was no impact on oil production.
Allied forces focused on Saudi Arabia announced on the 7th that they had intercepted missiles and drones launched from neighboring Yemen towards Saudi Arabia. There were several sightings of the blast rattling windows in an explosion in Dhahran, where Saudi Aramco is headquartered.
Yemeni armed Houthis issued a statement on the same day as a series of attacks, including a Saudi Aramco facility in Ras Tanura in eastern Saudi Arabia. A Houthi spokeswoman said in a statement to the Houthi television channel Almasila that it had launched eight ballistic missiles and 14 drones carrying bombs into Saudi Arabia.
