Media outlets and social media platforms circulated new footage of the moments and aftermath of Sana’a forces targeting sites belonging to Aramco in Jizan, a day after the strike yesterday, Saturday.
Exclusive – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:
Two of the new clips show the initial aftermath of targeting an Aramco oil site, with massive balls of flame rising high due to explosions of oil tanks inside the facility, forming what looks like a “sun of fire” whose glow illuminated wide areas of the city.
One of the new clips shows moments of ignition in more than three large fire points inside an Aramco facility, with black smoke columns rising so high that they were visible from distant areas.
Another clip, seemingly recorded by a citizen passing near the targeted location, shows a thick black smoke column extending to the sky, forming a cloud covering the area.
Sana’a forces had announced on Saturday the execution of two operations targeting facilities belonging to Aramco in Jizan and Yanbu, using dozens of ballistic, winged missiles, and drones, confirming direct hits, and stating that the operation came in response to the bombardment of Hodeidah Port and Kamaran Island.
In this context, Reuters reported that it had verified a circulating video showing a thick smoke column rising from the direction of the Aramco refinery in Jizan. It also quoted two Asian trade sources as having received reports indicating that oil and fuel storage facilities in Jizan may have been damaged.
Yanbu port, which was also targeted, is the main oil export outlet for Saudi Arabia on the Red Sea, having become a primary route for Saudi oil exports.
