What happened

Reuters reports a new Houthi announcement claiming attacks on East–West crude-oil pumping stations and Riyadh airport on 26 October. There was no immediate Saudi confirmation of the claimed impacts. Separately, the Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted a missile toward Riyadh; that is not confirmation of a pipeline hit. No station, impact point, damage, casualty, spill or flow interruption is established. This entry records the new announcement, not a verified additional strike distinct from earlier pipeline claims. Its date is the announcement date because the precise operation time is unavailable. The marker is a broad corridor reference and does not locate a pumping station or impact.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
