There was no immediate word of anyone killed or injured in the attack.
Local residents in the nearby area said they heard loud blasts at Aramco's oil installations and "smoke spiraling up from the facilities".
Earlier in the day Yemen’s rebel Houthi fighters once again fired mortar shells on the Saudi border city of Najran in retaliation for the Saudi-led collation airstrikes across Yemen.
