The Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen has branded the terrorist attack on an oil distribution station in Jeddah a cowardly assault on global energy security and supply.

The following statement was made by Coalition spokesman Brigadier-General Turki Al-Malki, carried by the Saudi Press Agency: “In reference to the statement issued by the Ministry of Energy regarding the fire that erupted in an oil tank in the oil derivatives distribution station in Jeddah, the terrorist, Iran-backed Houthi militia has been positively identified as the culprits of this cowardly terrorist assault, which did not target the kingdom’s national assets, but the core of global economy and its supply routes, as well as the security of global energy.

“This terrorist assault is a continuation to the terrorist actions that targeted oil facilities in Abqaiq and Khurais, which was adopted by the Houthi militia, while substantiated evidence proved the direct involvement of the Iranian regime in those terrorist assaults using Iranian-made weapons.

“Targeting civilians and civilian objects, including economic installations, in a deliberate, systematic manner is contrary to international law and amounts to war crimes. The Coalition undertakes all necessary operational procedures to safeguard civilians.”
