**Deck**: New Sentinel‑2 satellite imagery shows at least four oil storage tanks destroyed at Saudi Aramco’s Jazan refinery and damage at two nearby bulk plants after recent Ansarallah ballistic missile and drone strikes, highlighting the exposure of Saudi fuel infrastructure on the Red Sea coast.

Visible destruction at multiple Saudi Aramco fuel sites on the Red Sea coast now confirms that recent Ansarallah strikes hit core parts of Saudi Arabia’s western energy network.

Sentinel‑2 satellite imagery from early September shows that at least four oil storage tanks at Aramco’s Jazan oil refinery have been destroyed. The same imagery indicates that at least three tanks at Aramco’s Jazan bulk plant and five tanks at the Abha bulk plant have also been destroyed.

These findings match earlier reports that Houthi‑aligned Ansarallah forces carried out ballistic missile and drone attacks against Aramco facilities in Jazan. EGYOSINT and other open‑source monitoring accounts had reported that several oil storage tanks at the Jazan plant were destroyed in a strike, and later imagery now provides visual evidence of extensive tank damage across the complex.

The Jazan refinery and bulk plant sit near Saudi Arabia’s southwest border with Yemen, with the Abha bulk plant further inland. All three sites act as storage and distribution hubs for refined products serving the kingdom’s southwest. Destroyed tanks at these locations point to a direct hit on the infrastructure that feeds local fuel supply and logistics along the Red Sea corridor.

For Saudi decision‑makers, the strikes underscore that shifting parts of the energy system to the Red Sea coast has not removed them from the battlefield. Ansarallah’s use of ballistic missiles and long‑range drones against Jazan and Abha shows it can reach beyond front‑line areas into deeper layers of Saudi infrastructure.

The attacks come as the Red Sea is already under strain from repeated Houthi operations against commercial shipping. The confirmed destruction of onshore storage tanks at Aramco facilities adds a new dimension to that threat, extending it from vessels in transit to the terminals and depots that support fuel movements in the region.

Markets and analysts will be watching for any indication that Aramco diverts product flows, draws on other storage, or quietly adjusts export or supply patterns from the Red Sea side of its network. Another key signal will be whether Saudi authorities publicly acknowledge the scale of the tank damage and outline any steps to protect similar sites, or whether Ansarallah attempts further missile and drone strikes on coastal and inland fuel infrastructure in the southwest.
