Smoke plume still visible from Jazan refinery, stretching nearly 70km

A smoke plume was still visible from the Saudi Aramco refinery in Jazan on Monday afternoon, according to reports. The plume was reported to stretch nearly 70 kilometers in length.

The smoke plume from the Jazan refinery remained visible on Monday afternoon, with reports describing it as stretching nearly 70 kilometers. The plume was reported via a social media post. The fire at the refinery was first reported after Houthi strikes on Saudi energy infrastructure over the weekend. As The Zioneer reported on July 25, satellite imagery analysis indicated a probable impact within the tank farm, and NASA satellite data detected fire hotspots at the facility. The ongoing smoke suggests the fire is still burning, though no new reports of additional strikes have been confirmed.
