A limited fire erupted on Tuesday in an administrative building at Aramco, a major oil facility located in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, according to the country's Ministry of Energy. The incident occurred in the aftermath of an attack targeting the Aramco compound. There were no reported injuries as a result of the fire. The attack came amidst ongoing clashes between the Iranian-backed Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition, which were exchanging attacks on Tuesday night.
The escalation in the Middle East crisis came shortly after the Saudi coalition reported a series of alerts for incoming missiles heading towards the Eastern Province, a significant oil-producing region, and the capital Riyadh. The Saudi Civil Defense reported that debris from two intercepted Houthi missiles landed on residential areas in Riyadh, causing injuries to four people and damage to 15 homes.
The Saudi-led coalition retaliated with new airstrikes on Wednesday, targeting the Houthi-controlled capital of Yemen, the Houthi-run broadcaster Al Masirah, and residents reported.
