Large fire at Saudi Aramco storage facility
STORY: Reuters video showed a huge plume of black smoke could be seen rising over the Red Sea city where the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is taking place this weekend.
The coalition statement on state media said the fire had been brought under control.
There was no immediate comment from Aramco or the energy ministry when contacted by Reuters.
The Iran-aligned Houthis, who are battling the coalition led by Saudi Arabia, have intensified attacks on energy facilities in the kingdom, the world's largest oil exporter. This week, Riyadh said it would not bear responsibility for any global oil supply disruptions resulting from such attacks.
Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarea said the group launched missiles on Friday at Aramco's facilities in Jeddah and drones at the Ras Tanura and Rabigh refineries, and that it had also targeted "vital facilities" in the capital Riyadh.
Saudi state media earlier said the coalition had foiled a string of Houthi drone and rocket attacks.
