Social media accounts circulated a video clip claiming it was linked to strikes by the Houthi group on the Saudi capital, Riyadh. The video shows fire and smoke rising on the horizon, accompanied by a description that says: “Riyadh is hosting a Yemeni delegation headed by Zulfiqar and Burkan,” referring to the names of two ballistic missiles previously used by the Houthi group in attacks against Saudi Arabia.
Using a reverse search, we found a copy posted on the Facebook page of the Iraqi Kurdish site RojNews, dated June 24, 2025. At the time, the site reported that the footage was from a drone attack on Camp Taji north of Baghdad in Iraq, which is consistent with similar news reports at the time.
The video had previously been used on various misleading occasions that were not related to its real context, but it returned to circulation recently with the Houthi group, supported by Iran, escalating its attacks on Saudi Arabia.
