Old Video Circulates as Proof of Houthi Attack on Saudi Oil Facility

Social media users recently circulated a video that appeared to show fires at an oil facility in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. The video was claimed to be evidence of a Houthi attack on the facilities. However, Misbar's fact-checking team has found that the video is actually from July 2021 and not a recent event.

The analysis revealed that the video was mislabeled as being from September 18, 2026, which led to the false claim of a Houthi attack. The team cited various sources, including Reuters and the Media Office, in their research.
