Disputed · Saudi Aramco headquarters, Saudi Arabia (approximate: Saudi Arabia) ·
Several outlets report an overnight strike on Saudi Aramco headquarters or executive offices in Saudi Arabia on 13-14 October 2026, which regional officials attribute to the Houthis, and Upstream Online calls it a suspected Houthi attack. Reuters, citing sources, reports extensive damage to the headquarters, while Times of India reports only limited fire at a compound, and no official confirmation or Houthi claim appears in the claims.

Verification
Disputed: 6 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- Damage: Reuters (citing sources) reports extensive damage to the headquarters, while Times of India reports limited fire at a Saudi Aramco compound.
- Location within the complex: regional-officials reports and Reuters say headquarters, WJTV, News-Press NOW, Union Bulletin, Killeen Daily Herald and thecanadianpressnews say executive offices, WPLG says executive offices at company headquarters, WSJ and Hindustan Times say a building at headquarters, and Yahoo says only Saudi oil headquarters.
- Timing: the regional-officials reports say overnight, but the occurrence is stamped 21:00 UTC on 13 October in some reprints and 00:00 UTC on 14 October in others.
- Attribution: Upstream Online says suspected Houthi attack and Anchorage Daily News and Times of India name the Houthis without officials, while the officials reports name the Houthis as Iran-backed.
- Context: Al Jazeera says the strike came hours after a Saudi-led coalition strike on a Sanaa oil site, a claim no other listed source mentions, and OilPrice.com says the Houthis vowed more attacks, which no other source reports.
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.
