# Saudi Aramco Jazan refinery fire extinguished, no injuries 2026-08-09T03:42:32+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Firefighters have extinguished a blaze that broke out early Sunday at a facility within Saudi Aramco's Jazan refinery in southwestern Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Energy Ministry said. There were no injuries, and industrial security teams brought the fire under control. The ministry did not state the cause. The Jazan refinery, with a capacity of 400,000 barrels per day, had been shut down since July 27 after a Houthi militant attack damaged its integrated gasification combined cycle complex and tank farm, according to a Reuters report citing consultancy IIR. Aramco chief Amin Nasser said last week that recent attacks caused some production interruptions but that operations could be restored quickly with no material financial or operational impact. The Houthis had declared a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea last month, a claim Riyadh denies. The fire comes amid the wider US-Iran war, which has seen threats to Red Sea shipping and the Strait of Hormuz. ## Coverage - economictimes.indiatimes.com - livemint.com This story was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above.
