Just four days after a drone attack on the port of Jizan in Saudi Arabia, the news agency affiliated with the Houthi Shiite rebels of Yemen reported on Thursday another attack on the Aramco refinery located in this port.

While Saudi news sources have not yet reported on this, the Saba news agency of Yemen stated that the refinery was targeted "by two drones."

Earlier this week on Sunday, this refinery had caught fire following a drone attack by the Houthis.

Jizan is located on the Red Sea coast, near the border with Yemen, and is within the range of the Houthi Shiite rebels who are supported by the Islamic Republic.

Aramco halted operations at this facility on July 27 after the Houthi attack, which damaged the Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) complex and the refinery's storage section. At that time, the Houthis announced that they had targeted Aramco facilities in Jizan and Yanbu. The Jizan refinery has a processing capacity of 400,000 barrels of crude oil per day and produces refined products including gasoline and ultra-low sulfur diesel.
