Yemen's Houthi rebels said they carried out a drone attack on a Saudi Aramco refinery in the southern Saudi city of Jizan, with their military spokesman saying the strike was precise. The group said the attack was in response to Saudi aerial strikes on Yemen's Saada and Hajjah provinces.
Saudi Arabia's energy ministry earlier reported that firefighters had extinguished a fire that broke out at dawn in a facility belonging to the Jizan refinery, but did not identify the cause. The Houthis' claim was reported by Al Masirah TV, the group's satellite channel.
There was no immediate confirmation from Saudi authorities about what caused the blaze or whether a drone strike had taken place.
