Yemen's Houthi rebels attack an oil depot in the Saudi city of Jeddah ahead of a Formula One race in the kingdom
The North Jeddah Bulk Plant stores diesel, gasoline and jet fuel for use in Jeddah, the kingdom’s second-largest city.
Friday's attack targeted the same fuel depot that the Houthis had attacked in recent days, the North Jeddah Bulk Plant that sits just southeast of the city’s international airport and is a crucial hub for Muslim pilgrims heading to Mecca. "This hostile escalation targets oil facilities and aims to undermine energy security and the backbone of global economy," Malki said, according to the state-run Saudi Press Agency.
The Saudi Arabian Oil Co, known as Saudi Aramco, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
