Corroborated · Jubail, Saudi Arabia ·
Middle East Eye reports that the Houthis appeared to attack Saudi Arabia with missiles and drones on Tuesday night local time. Tasnim, citing unofficial sources, says Yemeni ballistic missiles were fired at targets in Saudi Arabia. An unconfirmed X post by @OSINTWarfare shows smoke from an Aramco facility in Jubail, Eastern Province, which it attributes to a Houthi missile strike. No Saudi or Houthi official statement is cited in the claims.

Verification
Corroborated: 3 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- Middle East Eye's headline frames the explosions as following strikes on a Yemeni oil facility, while its summary attributes the attack to the Houthis; the claims do not establish what preceded the explosions.
- Middle East Eye names no city and only 'Saudi Arabia' as the place, while @OSINTWarfare places the smoke at an Aramco facility in Jubail; the Jubail location rests on that single unconfirmed post.
- Middle East Eye describes missiles and drones, while Tasnim describes ballistic missiles only.
- Tasnim attributes the launch to 'Yemeni armed forces' without naming the Houthis, whereas Middle East Eye and @OSINTWarfare name the Houthis.
Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
