A fire erupted at facilities owned by the Saudi oil giant Aramco in Jizan, located in the southern part of Saudi Arabia near the Yemeni border. The Saudi Ministry of Energy announced on Sunday that the blaze has been extinguished.

According to the ministry's statement via X (formerly Twitter), no injuries were reported as a result of the incident. "The relevant authorities are completing the necessary procedures to deal with the incident," the ministry added, confirming that the fire was under control.

The specific cause of the fire has not yet been clarified in the ministry's announcement. This incident occurs in a region that has previously been targeted; last month, Houthi rebels launched missile and drone attacks against an Aramco refinery in the same area.

Authorities are currently investigating the origins of the fire and completing all required procedures to address the situation. The ministry has assured the public that the situation is being managed by the appropriate agencies.
