Several energy sector facilities and installations in Saudi Arabia’s southern region were targeted on September 8, according to an official source at the Ministry of Energy.

The attacks sparked fires at several locations, temporarily disrupting some operations, while specialised field teams moved to contain the fires, secure the sites and assess the damage.

The source said several citizens and residents sustained injuries of varying severity and are receiving necessary medical treatment as authorities continue follow-up operations.

Relevant authorities are taking all necessary measures to address the consequences of the attacks, protect facilities and personnel, and maintain operational continuity in line with approved plans. Officials said efforts remain focused on containing the impact and ensuring the safety and security of energy infrastructure across the affected areas. -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
