Newly released satellite imagery shows the most detailed view yet of damage to the Saudi Aramco refinery in Jazan, caused by Houthi drone and missile strikes approximately a week ago. The images appear to confirm the extent of the damage that forced the facility to shut down for repairs.
The Jazan refinery, a critical node in Saudi Arabia's energy infrastructure, was struck by Houthi drone and missile attacks approximately a week ago. As The Zioneer reported on July 25, the attack triggered fires and forced a shutdown, with repairs expected to last until at least August 15. The newly released satellite imagery — described as the clearest picture yet — provides a detailed assessment of the damage to the facility's tank farm and processing units. The images corroborate earlier reports of structural damage and the extent of the fire that burned for days. The Houthi movement, backed by Iran, has claimed responsibility for the strikes as part of its campaign against Saudi energy targets.
