Riyadh (Debriefer) - The Riyadh-based Aramco oil refinery was under terrorist assault in the form of drone attack launched by the Iranian-backed Houthi group, an official source in the Saudi ministry of energy said Friday.
The refinery was attacked by drones at 6:05 am on Friday, setting the facility on fire that was brought under control, the source added in a statement. No human casualties or impacts on oil supplies were reported.
The official deplored "devastating acts that target oil supplies," calling on the world to stand against these "terrorist assaults and encounter all the parties that carry out or support them.
These repeated terrorist and devastating acts do not target the Kingdom alone, but target the global energy supplies and economy, he added.
Earlier on Friday, the Houthi group said it targeted the Saudi Aramco in Riyadh with six drones.
