The government of Prime Minister-designate Fathi Bashagha condemned “in the strongest terms” today’s attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on storage site belonging to Saudi petroleum company Aramco.
Bashagha’s government expressed its “full support” for Saudi Arabia when it comes to “defending its security and stability, which is an integral part of the national security of the Arab and Islamic nation.”
Yemen’s Houthis said they launched attacks on Saudi energy facilities on Friday and the Saudi-led coalition said oil giant Aramco’s petroleum products distribution station in Jeddah was hit, causing a fire in two storage tanks but no casualties.
The Saudi energy ministry said the kingdom strongly condemned the “sabotage attacks”, reiterating that it would not bear responsibility for any global oil supply disruptions resulting from such attacks, state news agency SPA reported, citing an official in the ministry.
