Summary

On October 27, 2026, a fire broke out near the Ras Tanura oil export terminal on the Persian Gulf. Saudi authorities contained the blaze, though the extent of the damage remains unclear. While Houthi spokespeople claimed responsibility for a missile strike on the nearby Ras Tanura refinery, Saudi officials have not confirmed this assault or any connection between the fire and the three ballistic missiles they reported intercepting over the Eastern Region that same day. The incident follows recent Houthi targeting of other Saudi infrastructure, including Saudi Aramco’s administrative building in Dharan and the Shaybah field.
