Disputed · Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ·
The Houthis, relayed by Tasnim News citing the Yemeni Armed Forces and by Middle East Eye citing spokesperson Yahya Saree, claim ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones struck an Aramco refinery in Riyadh. AP and regional officials instead say the Aramco headquarters or executive offices was struck, Eurasia Review reports several people injured from missile interceptions in Riyadh, and a WTAJ report cites residents hearing new explosions in the city. No source independently confirms the damage or fires claimed by the Yemeni Armed Forces.

Verification
Disputed: 4 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- Target: Tasnim and Middle East Eye (Houthi claim) and NDTV say a refinery or Aramco facilities, while AP and regional officials say the Aramco headquarters or executive offices, and Eurasia Review says an Aramco building.
- Method: the Houthi claim cites ballistic and cruise missiles and drones, AP and regional officials say the method is not specified, and Eurasia Review attributes injuries to missile interceptions.
- Damage: the Yemeni Armed Forces claim accurate strikes causing damage and fires, but no other listed source reports damage or fires.
- Casualties: only Eurasia Review reports injuries (several, unspecified), and no source reports deaths or gives a count.
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.
