Authorities “are completing necessary procedures to deal with the incident,” it added. Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebel group subsequently claimed an attack on Jazan, the group’s military spokesperson said in a post, also on X. One crude storage tank at the refinery was impacted in the incident, according to a person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because the information isn’t public. Large refineries like Jazan have multiple tanks to hold the oil that they ultimately process into fuel products like gasoline and diesel.

Jazan is located on the Red Sea in southwest Saudi Arabia.The Houthis in July said they would blockade Saudi Arabia’s oil flows in response to a Saudi blockade of Yemeni territory.
