Aramco facility hit as Houthis and Saudi coalition exchange attacks

Saudi Arabia reported on Wednesday that an attack on an Aramco facility in the east of the country had caused a limited fire, resulting in no casualties or fatalities. Debris from Houthi missiles intercepted by the Saudi-led coalition wounded four people in Riyadh, including two women, a man and a child. The coalition claimed it had intercepted several missiles over Riyadh on Tuesday evening.

Earlier, coalition strikes targeted oil sites in western Yemen in response to the deadliest attack on Saudi soil in years. The strikes in Sanaa and the provinces of Dhamar and Saada aimed to disrupt Houthi efforts to threaten the kingdom, Yemen, and international waterways. A powerful explosion was heard in Riyadh, with witnesses reporting a projectile cutting across the sky.

This incident follows previous Houthi strikes on Saudi airports and energy sites, prompting the coalition to issue an evacuation order in Sanaa for the first time since the war began in July.
