ZackEiseman’s overnight recap said Tasnim claimed satellite imagery showed an extensive fire at Saudi Arabia’s Abqaiq oil facilities following a Yemeni missile attack, with no confirmed production or export impact. The same recap said Tasnim separately reported Sentinel-2 imagery showing damaged fuel tanks at Petro Rabigh’s refinery and petrochemical complex, attributing the damage to Yemeni missiles, while saying the extent of damage and operating impact remained unconfirmed. The Tasnim originals were not recovered in the bounded search, so the claims are retained only as attributed recaps and not as confirmed damage.

Verification: unverified

Evidence: ICYMI O/N Iran recap

Single X recap by ZackEiseman citing Tasnim. A bounded search did not recover the Tasnim originals; no confirmed production/export impact was provided, and operating impact remained unconfirmed in the post.
