Aramco’s Building in Riyadh Damaged by Houthi Attack

Windows were blown out across several floors of Saudi oil giant Aramco's corporate office in the heart of the financial district of the capital Riyadh on Sunday by what the energy ministry said was debris from an attempt to attack the building.

The ministry said damage to the Aramco Tower was limited and there were no injuries or fatalities, without assigning responsibility for the attack. The Saudi-led coalition fighting Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen said Saudi air defences had intercepted Houthi missiles over the city in the early hours.

The Houthis, who claimed responsibility for the attack, have escalated their fighting with the kingdom in what has become another front in the wider US-Israeli war with Iran.

Many schools in the kingdom resumed in-person classes on Sunday after weeks of home learning and several Saudi government agencies returned to in-office work suspended after earlier Houthi attacks.
