Attacks on several energy facilities in southern Saudi Arabia disrupted operations and wounded an unspecified number of people on Tuesday, the Saudi Energy Ministry reported.
Fires broke out at several sites, prompting emergency teams to contain the blazes and assess the damage. Saudi citizens and foreign residents sustained injuries of varying severity and were receiving medical treatment, according to the ministry.

Authorities did not identify the locations targeted, provide a casualty figure, or indicate who was responsible.
A day earlier, the Financial Times, citing two people familiar with the matter, reported that Saudi Aramco’s oil facilities in Jazan were also hit. Saudi Aramco has not commented on Monday’s incident, and no group has claimed responsibility.
