Houthis claim attack on Saudi Ras Tanura refinery, largest in kingdom

Yemen's Houthis claim a strike on Saudi Arabia's Ras Tanura oil refinery, the kingdom's largest, located on the Gulf west of the Strait of Hormuz. The attack, if confirmed, would mark a significant escalation targeting critical energy infrastructure, though no damage or disruption has been verified. This follows a pattern of Houthi long-range attacks on Saudi targets, but the specific targeting of Ras Tanura raises regional energy security concerns.
