Houthi Missiles Hit Saudi Aramco’s Jazan Refinery, First Such Attack in 4 Years

Yemen's Houthi forces launched a missile attack overnight, striking Saudi Aramco's Jazan oil refinery with three ballistic missiles. The attack caused multiple pillars of smoke to rise from the facility, indicating successful impacts.

Jazan is Saudi Arabia's fifth-largest refinery, processing 400,000 barrels of crude per day. This marks the first Houthi strike on a Saudi refinery complex in four years, highlighting a potential escalation in regional hostilities.

The incident could reignite supply concerns, as Jazan forms a critical part of Saudi downstream infrastructure. Markets are likely to price in renewed geopolitical risk to crude output.
