Disputed · Jeddah, Saudi Arabia ·
Houthi claims, relayed by the Washington Times and by Tasnim News citing the Yemeni armed forces, say Aramco facilities in Saudi Arabia were targeted, with Tasnim placing oil distribution facilities north of Jeddah. Several outlets citing unnamed officials report that Iran-backed Houthis struck Aramco's executive offices or headquarters without naming a city, and MS NOW and OilPrice.com report an attack on Saudi oil headquarters. No Saudi government or Aramco confirmation appears in the claims.

Verification
Disputed: 2 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- Target: the Washington Times headline names a Saudi airport and an Aramco facility, while its own summary mentions only an Aramco facility.
- Location: Tasnim places the target north of Jeddah at Aramco oil distribution facilities, while the officials-attributed reports place it at Aramco executive offices or headquarters with no city given.
- Target type: oil distribution facilities (Tasnim) versus executive offices or headquarters (officials-attributed outlets) versus oil headquarters (MS NOW).
- Attacker naming: Houthis in most claims versus Yemeni armed forces in Tasnim, which is the same side but a different label.
- Timing: the earliest report is at 12:10 UTC and the latest at 20:31 UTC, and no claim gives a time for the strike itself.
- Confirmation: the Houthi and Tasnim items present the attack as a claim, and the officials-attributed items cite unnamed officials, with no Saudi or Aramco statement in the claims.
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.
