Corroborated · Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia ·
The Houthis, through spokesman Yahya Saree, claim a ballistic missile hit the Ras Tanura refinery in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, causing a fire; Saudi authorities had not confirmed the strike. Bloomberg, citing a person familiar with the matter, reports that Saudi Arabia contained a fire near the Ras Tanura oil hub after an attack, and a Telegram channel reported the fire brought under control. Fire-detection data cited by a relayed X post points to a fire at about 00:09 UTC on 27 October.

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.
