The Press TV Breaking account posted on X that Yemeni ballistic missiles targeted Dammam, in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, prefixing its statement with 'Reports'. The post gives no time for the reported launch or impact, names no launching authority beyond the description 'Yemeni' and does not attribute the launch to the Houthis, reports no interception, no impact location and no casualties, and cites no source beyond the word 'reports'. No Saudi statement, no Houthi claim and no independent confirmation was read. It attaches one photograph whose subject and time of capture are not stated and that it was not checked against the reported attack.

Evidence: Reports: Yemeni ballistic missiles target Dammam, eastern Saudi Arabia
Single X post from the Press TV Breaking account, hedged as 'Reports', with one attached photograph. The retained material names no launching authority beyond 'Yemeni', no source, no time, no impact location and no casualties, and contains no Saudi statement, no Houthi claim and no independent corroboration; the photograph was not checked against the reported attack. Re-reading the original confirms the posting account's displayed name is Press TV Breaking, so the earlier attribution to a different outlet and nationality was not sustained by the document.
