RIYADH — A petroleum product distribution terminal in Jazan was hit by a projectile at 9:08 p.m., an official spokesman at the Ministry of Energy said early Friday in a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency. The attack resulted in a fire in one of the terminal"s tanks. The attack, however, did not cause any casualties. The spokesman stressed that Saudi Arabia strongly condemns this cowardly attack against vital installations. The attack does not only target the Kingdom but also petroleum exports, the stability of energy supply to the world, freedom of world trade, as well as the global economy. It also affects maritime traffic and exposes coasts and territorial waters to serious environmental consequences.
