A reported strike on an industrial complex in the eastern Saudi Arabian city of Dammam triggered a large fire on Sunday, according to Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency.
In a post on X, IRNA attributed the incident to a Yemeni attack, claiming that the strike had hit an industrial facility in the city.
“A Yemeni strike hit an industrial complex in Dammam, eastern Saudi Arabia, sparking a large fire at the facility,” the agency reported.
The report did not identify the industrial complex or provide details about the extent of the damage.
There was also no immediate information regarding casualties, the type of weapon allegedly used or the precise circumstances of the incident.
Saudi authorities had not been cited as confirming the reported strike, and responsibility for the alleged attack remained unverified.
The incident, if confirmed, would raise further concerns about the security of industrial infrastructure in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province.
The claims could not be independently verified from the information immediately available.
