After the 25 July Houthi Aramco package, open-source satellite analysis identified burn scars at a spherical storage tank in the Yanbu Bulk Plant (~23.9543°N 38.3046°E) and heavy fire damage at the nearby Alhamrani-Fuchs blending and grease plant.

EGYOSINT and AMK Mapping published post-strike satellite readouts for Yanbu Industrial City following the Houthi claim against Aramco sites. This is distinct from the Greek-source report of two ballistic missiles intercepted toward Yanbu refineries (red-sea:saudi-intercept-yanbu): here the geometry is damaged industrial plant, not the intercept claim. Launch origin remains unsourced beyond Houthi-held Yemen, so the map mark is a point at the satellite-fixed industrial damage, not a strike-route.

Damage geometry from satellite OSINT; causal link to the 25 July Houthi package is temporal and claim-based, not a forensic chain of custody for every munition.
