Claimed attack near refinery

The Houthis claimed an attack near the Ras Tanura refinery in Saudi Arabia, according to Dhaka Tribune. The outlet separately reported that a fire erupted near Ras Tanura, but the extent of any damage remained unclear. Neither the claimed attack nor the reported fire has been independently verified.

Coalition reports interceptions

Saudi-led coalition spokesperson Brig. Gen. Turki al-Malki said on X that coalition forces intercepted three ballistic missiles aimed at Saudi Arabia’s eastern region. He also claimed that four Houthi drones targeting the kingdom’s south were intercepted.

Al-Malki provided no further details or evidence, according to WTOP, which carried an Associated Press report. The Associated Press said it could not independently verify his claims. The report did not identify specific targets in the eastern region.
