Corroborated · Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia ·
The Houthis, through military spokesman Yahya Saree, claim they struck the Ras Tanura refinery in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province with a ballistic missile, and Saudi authorities have not confirmed the strike. Maritime Executive and Energy Update, citing commercial satellite imagery and open-source analysts, report damage to a cracking unit, and Maritime Executive says the refinery appears to have stopped flaring. MintPress News (via Telegram) and Tasnim News (citing unofficial reports) say the refinery was damaged, with Tasnim adding that its activity was suspended.

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.
