RIYADH — An official spokesman at the Ministry of Energy said that Saturday, at around 11:30 p.m. a drone assault was made on the petroleum products distribution terminal in Jazan in the south east of the Kingdom. Two additional drone attacks were made Sunday at around 5:30 a.m., on Yanbu’s natural gas plant, and shortly after, on the facilities of Yanbu Aramco Sinopec Refining Company (YASREF). The assault on YASREF facilities has led to a temporary reduction in the refinery’s production, which will be compensated for from the inventory. The assaults resulted in no casualties. In his statement, the spokesman stressed that the Kingdom strongly condemns these attacks and said that such acts of sabotage and terrorism, repeatedly committed against vital installations and civilian facilities. These include, for example, the recent attack on the Riyadh refinery, are cowardly assaults that violate international laws and norms and do not just target the Kingdom alone, but the security and stability of energy supply to the world, therefore targeting the global economy. In addition, some of these attacks affect maritime traffic in a important area —the Red Sea and its important coasts and territorial waters, with potentially serious environmental consequences. The spokesman renewed the Kingdom"s call to all nations and organizations of the world to stand together against such acts of sabotage and terrorism by groups perpetrating or supporting these attacks. Meanwhile, an official source at the Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) has stated that the terrorist attack by the Iran-backed Houthi terrorist militia targeting the water desalination system in Al-Shaqeeq did not affect the production. It added that the supply of desalinated water to the beneficiary areas, as the targeting was partial and was overcome at the time by activating emergency plans. The source added that the damage is currently being treated by the specialized maintenance teams who dealt with the incident with full professionalism. — SPA
