What happened
Saudi Arabia's Energy Ministry said the Yanbu natural-gas plant was attacked by a remotely piloted drone from about 05:30 local time, before a separate attack on the nearby YASREF refinery. The coalition also described a thwarted attack on an Aramco liquefied-gas plant at Yanbu; this record treats that wording as overlapping with the ministry's natural-gas-plant account rather than creating a second gas-facility marker. Saudi authorities reported no casualties. The marker is approximate and does not identify a verified impact point.
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.
