A small fire erupted on Tuesday in an office building within the Aramco complex, which is among the world's largest oil complexes, after being attacked in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, according to the country's Ministry of Energy. The ministry confirmed that no one was injured. The assault occurred amid a series of exchanges between the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels and the Saudi coalition they are battling.
This marked a new intensification in an already expanding crisis in the Middle East and came just after the Saudi coalition had reported a number of alerts regarding incoming missiles headed towards the Eastern Province, a key oil-producing area, and the capital city, Riyadh.
Saudi Arabia's Civil Defense reported that two intercepted Houthi missiles had crashed into residential neighborhoods in Riyadh, causing injuries to four individuals and causing damage to 15 residences. In response, the coalition of forces in Yemen, led by Saudi Arabia, launched fresh airstrikes on Tuesday targeting the Houthi-controlled capital of Yemen, as well as the Houthi-run broadcaster Al Masirah and local residents.
