"The air force targeted today's Aramco refinery in Riyadh," Ansar Allah said through its media.

 Saudi Aramco and civil defense firefighters have managed to control a limited fire that took place this evening in one of the tanks at the Riyadh refinery. Thanks to God, there were no injuries, and the work of the refinery was not affected by this fire, and the investigation is underway to find out the causes of the accident.

Saudi Arabia is locked in a major military campaign in Yemen, which has been in constant conflict since September 2014 between the forces of Yemeni President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi, supported since March 2015 by the Arab-led coalition led by the kingdom, and Iranian-backed Huthis.

The Arab Alliance aircraft carries out continuous air strikes on sites throughout Yemen, which it says are military and belonging to the Houthi "Ansar Allah" group, with the aim of "restoring legitimacy" to Sanaa and the rest of the Yemeni territory under the control of the Houthis, who occasionally fire rockets at military positions Saudi Aramco and Saudi Aramco in the Kingdom, especially in Jizan, Najran and Asir, in addition to Riyadh.

Houthi forces have stepped up attacks on sites in Saudi Arabia since the conflict with the alliance began in its third year and began to actively engage aircraft in its operations.
