Saudi Aramco has stated that all oil and gas facilities, plants and refineries in Saudi Arabia are operating normally, after reports emerged of an attempted missile attack on one of its units.

Media reports on 22 March claimed that Houthi rebels from Yemen had fired a ballistic missile targeting Aramco’s oil loading facility in the kingdom’s southern province of Najran.

According to a news agency controlled by the Houthi movement, the outfit launched a short-range ballistic missile aimed at the Aramco unit in Najran.

According to Aramco’s website, the Saudi oil giant has a loading facility in Najran, which is close to the border with Yemen.

Aramco didn’t mention the report of the attempted missile strike in its statement to Bloomberg, stating that all its facilities are safe.
