Yemen’s Houthi rebels have hit two oil tanks in the port city of Jeddah in an airstrike on Saudi Arabia. The coalition led by Saudi Arabia in Yemen’s civil war announced on Friday that the fires were under control and that no one was injured. Houthi military spokesman Jahja Sarea said rockets had been fired at facilities of Saudi Arabian oil giant Aramco in Jeddah and drones were directed at refineries in Ras Tanura and Rabig. In addition, important targets in the capital Riyadh were targeted. The oil company maintains several industrial plants there. The stock exchanges reacted to the reports with an increase in oil prices. The blast in Jeddah happened near the Formula 1 track where a race is scheduled to take place on Sunday.
