Missiles hit petrochemical complex in Saudi Arabia’s Jubail

Missiles struck a petrochemical complex in the eastern Saudi city of Jubail on Tuesday, according to Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency. The attack targeted a sprawling industrial area that includes the Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) and other petrochemical facilities.

The strike caused a fire at the SABIC plants. The attacks occurred hours after similar installations in Iran were reportedly hit. Jubail, located in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province, is one of the world’s largest industrial cities, producing steel, gasoline, petrochemicals, lubricating oil, and chemical fertilizers.
