Huge explosion in Saudi Arabia near the Aramco oil plant (video-photos) (Upd.)

Fears that the second Formula 1 race will be canceled

Newsroom March 25 06:19

A huge explosion took place in Saudi Arabia a few days after an attack against another oil depot.

This time, the new explosion, most likely again by the Houthi rebels, was against the Aramco oil facility.

Formula 1 officials said they would monitor the situation closely to decide if the second race of the season would take place on Sunday.

Thick black smoke appeared in the sky near the track, as videos on social media showed flames from the direction of the Aramco facility.
