The Houthis claim they attacked Saudi military aircraft near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea, on 26 October 2026 according to the claim's occurrence time. All three reports relay this claim. Their headlines describe a missile strike on a Saudi oil refinery, one naming Ras Tanura and one saying Riyadh confirmed a direct hit, but the report bodies do not say this, and no listed source independently confirms either version.
