Yemen's Houthis say they hit Saudi Ras Tanura oil refinery with missile
Context
DUBAI, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis said on Tuesday they had hit Saudi Arabia's Ras Tanura oil refinery, the biggest in the kingdom, with a ballistic missile. The group's military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the strike had caused a fire at the complex, which also includes a shipping terminal, located on the Gulf, west of the Strait of Hormuz. Saudi authorities did not immediately confirm the strike. Ras Tanura, which has a capacity of 550,000 barrels per day, was shut for a period in the early months of the Iran war as a precautionary measure.
