Saudi's Civil Defence Ministry says the danger has passed in Jazan

Context

The established sequence in past episodes has been alert, interception claim or impact report, then all-clear, with the oil market read depending almost entirely on whether the incident touched energy infrastructure rather than population centres. Jazan hosts refining and export-adjacent assets, but the distinction that has mattered for crude pricing is between strikes on processing facilities, which have repriced geopolitical risk premia durably, and intercepted projectiles over border provinces, which have tended to fade within the session. The actors and form here are well established: cross-border launches have recurred through periods of tensions involving Yemen, with Saudi statements typically downplaying impact and Houthi channels typically claiming success. Worth noting next is any corroborating claim of responsibility, any report from the energy ministry or state producer on facility status, and whether this is isolated or part of a cluster, since clustering rather than single events has been the tell for escalation.
