Fire has begun in Saudi Arabia in Saudi Arabia after hitting the drone explosive. The incident reported the Ministry of Energy of the country, reports the Arab News edition.
The department reported that the projectile got into one of the terminal oil in the port city of Jizan in the evening of Thursday, March 26. As a result of the incident, no one was killed. “The object of the attack was not only the kingdom, but also the oil export itself, the stability of energy supply, freedom of international trade and the world economy,” said the representative of the ministry.
The military also managed to intercept a few more fused by explosives of drones, two of whom were trying to attack objects in the cities of Hamis-Mushait and Nazran. The attack accused Yemen insurgents from the movement “Ansar Allah” (Husites).
The attack occurred a day after Saudi Arabia proposed the decision of the war in Yemen, which became one of the most protracted military conflicts in the Middle East. The plan provides that along the existing delimitation lines between the parties to the conflict – the Husits and the Central authorities – will be announced by a truce under the UN strict observation, while US and Oman will be intermediaries. In addition, Er-Riyada guarantees salaries to all civil servants Yemen and offers to “fairly allocate budget money” received from the export of Yemen oil.
Yemen conflict is in the active phase since 2014. Rebels-Husitov, presumably support Iran and Hezbollah. Against them – the army of Yemen and the coalition of the Arab countries, headed by Saudi Arabia.
