Saudi Arabia suspends operations at multiple oil facilities after Houthi attacks, according to reports citing company and industry details. Middle East Eye reports that Saudi Aramco halts operations at the Abqaiq oil processing and stabilisation facility following an attack on Monday. Other coverage focuses on Aramco’s Jazan refinery, where Reuters reported that operations are stopped after a strike on July 27. The Jazan refinery has capacity to process about 400,000 barrels of oil per day. Reuters, citing a memo from consultancy IIR, says damage affects the refinery’s integrated gasification combined-cycle complex and an oil storage area. Aramco is working to complete repairs and restart operations by around August 15. A Houthi military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, says the group struck Aramco facilities in Jazan and Yanbu, describing the attacks as widening the regional conflict. Footage circulated online shows smoke from the Jazan area. Premium Times and NDTV both repeat the Reuters-linked timeline and capacity figures for the Jazan shutdown.
