Satellite images show Ansarallah strikes destroyed multiple Aramco oil tanks at Jazan and Abha sites
New Sentinel‑2 imagery confirms at least four oil storage tanks destroyed at Saudi Aramco’s Jazan refinery, three at the Jazan bulk plant and five at Abha after recent Ansarallah missile and drone attacks, indicating significant damage across key storage facilities in southwest Saudi Arabia.
New satellite imagery indicates that recent Ansarallah strikes caused extensive damage to Saudi Aramco tank farms in the southwest of the kingdom, hitting a cluster of storage sites that support fuel flows along the Red Sea and into inland networks.
Initial reporting from EGYOSINT described a Houthi strike that destroyed “several” oil storage tanks at Aramco’s Jazan plant. Follow‑on analysis of Sentinel‑2 satellite images gives a clearer picture: at least four oil storage tanks at Aramco’s Jazan oil refinery have been destroyed.
The same set of images shows damage beyond the main refinery. Analysts identify at least three destroyed oil storage tanks at Aramco’s Jazan bulk plant nearby, as well as five destroyed tanks at the Abha bulk plant further inland. All of the damage is attributed to recent ballistic missile and drone attacks carried out by Ansarallah, also known as the Houthi movement.
Taken together, the imagery points to a coordinated strike pattern against multiple Aramco storage sites rather than a single isolated hit. These tank farms hold crude and refined products that feed domestic consumption and export routes, so even partial destruction affects how smoothly fuel can be staged and moved through the system.
Saudi authorities and Aramco have not yet released public figures on casualties, throughput losses or repair timelines for Jazan and Abha. For now, the most concrete visible evidence of impact comes from the Sentinel‑2 imagery and the confirmed count of destroyed tanks at each site.
Key indicators to watch will be any official acknowledgment of damage from Riyadh, signs that Aramco is rerouting flows away from the affected plants, and evidence of follow‑on Ansarallah targeting against other storage or export infrastructure in the region.
