LIVE: Satellite Images Show Saudi Aramco Damage After Houthi Strike, MASSIVE Fire at Gas Plant

Oneindia

Tensions are escalating across the Gulf as the Houthis claim a drone strike on Saudi energy infrastructure, while satellite fire data reportedly shows an intense blaze at the Aramco Berri Gas Plant in Jubail. A separate fire was also reported at an Aramco facility near the Jazan refinery.    The developments come just days after Saudi Arabia announced a new defense arrangement involving Pakistan and Turkey, raising fresh questions about the kingdom’s ability to protect critical energy infrastructure from drone and missile threats.    While the Houthis have claimed responsibility for the Jazan strike, the precise circumstances and full extent of damage at the reported facilities still require independent verification. With strategically important energy sites now reportedly affected in both Jubail and Jazan, the latest incidents could signal a dangerous new phase in the region’s expanding security crisis.     #Houthis #SaudiArabia #SaudiAramco #AramcoAttack #Jubail #Jazan #HouthiAttack #SaudiEnergy #AramcoStrike #SaudiArabiaAttack #HouthisSaudiArabia #JubailFire #AramcoFire #BerriGasPlant #JazanRefinery #DroneStrike #SaudiDefense #PakistanSaudiArabia #TurkeySaudiArabia #MiddleEastCrisis #GulfTensions #SaudiEnergyInfrastructure #BreakingNews #MiddleEastNews #HouthiDrones #SaudiAirDefense #AramcoJubail  ~PR.460~HT.408~ED.532~GR.538~VG.MX~

00:06Satellite images have now confirmed massive damage at a key Saudi Aramco energy site after

00:13a reported Houthi attack triggered a huge fire in Jubail. The latest satellite imagery shows

00:20extensive damage around the Barry gas plant, one of Saudi Arabia's major energy facilities on the

00:27Gulf Coast. And this comes just days after Saudi Arabia signed a new defense pact with Pakistan and

00:34Turkey in Mecca, raising expectations of stronger regional security cooperation. Yet just days later,

00:43the Houthis have claimed a strike on Saudi energy infrastructure. That immediately raises a bigger

00:49question. How effective will these new security arrangements be against drone and missile threats?

00:56The Houthi statement specifically claimed the Jayazan strike was carried out with a drone,

01:02and the group has repeatedly used drones and missiles against Saudi Arabia during the broader

01:08regional conflict. For Saudi Arabia, the threat is particularly serious because attacks on energy

01:15facilities can have consequences far beyond the immediate damage. They can disrupt operations,

01:21affect energy markets, damage investor confidence, and expose vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure.

01:29At the same time, it is important to separate confirmed facts from claims. The Houthis have claimed

01:36responsibility for the Jayazan strike, while satellite data has detected significant fire activity and

01:42damage around the Barry gas facility. The full extent of operational damage and the precise circumstances of

01:50every reported fire still require independent verification. But one thing is clear. Saudi Arabia's energy

01:58infrastructure has once again become a major target in the region's expanding security crisis. And with Riyadh now

02:06deepening defence ties with Pakistan and Turkey, these latest strikes could become an early test of whether those

02:14new partnerships can translate into real protection. For now, the fires may be contained. But the bigger

02:21question is whether critical energy infrastructure across the Gulf is becoming the next major front in the regional

02:29conflict.
