The two largest oil refineries in Saudi Arabia,
owned by Saudi Aramco, were attacked by unidentified drones on Saturday night,
the Associated Press reported, citing a statement from the kingdom’s
authorities. As a result of explosions, fires broke out at the refinery.
The first explosion occurred at the Abkayk refinery
in the area of the city of Dammam in the eastern province of the country, the
second at the large Khurais oil field 150 kilometres from the capital, Riyadh.
“At 04:00 on Saturday, Aramco's industrial safety
services began to extinguish two fires at the company's refineries in the
Abkayk and Khurais districts that arose after UAV attacks,” the official said.
He said that the fires were localized, an investigation was launched into the
incident.
It is believed that drones could be sent by Hussite
Yemeni who carry out regular UAV attacks against targets in Saudi Arabia, but
the authorities have yet to confirm or deny this version.
Recall that in August, the Hussites launched an
attack from unmanned aerial vehicles at a field and a refinery in the Sheba an area in Saudi Arabia, which led to the ignition of a gas enterprise in the
field. In response, the Arab coalition attacked the positions of the Hussites in
northern Yemen.
In addition, the Associated Press recalls that
earlier this refinery was already the target of terrorist attacks by al-Qaeda
terrorists (banned in the Russian Federation). So, the last time suicide
bombers made a failed attempt to carry out an explosion at a factory in
February 2006.
