Aramco Headquarters Hit as Houthi Missiles Strike Saudi Arabia
Saudi Aramco’s executive headquarters in eastern Saudi Arabia was hit during a missile attack by Yemen’s Houthi militants on Tuesday, causing a fire in a part of the complex, the kingdom’s energy ministry said.
Saudi Arabia's Aramco headquarters in Dhahran were targeted by Houthi missiles on Tuesday, resulting in a small fire within the complex. The kingdom's energy ministry confirmed no injuries were reported. The Saudi-led coalition reported that Houthi missiles struck multiple cities in Saudi Arabia, including the capital Riyadh. Shrapnel from an intercepted missile landed in a residential area of Dhahran.
The coalition also advised civilians to evacuate an oil facility in Houthi-controlled Sanaa and urged oil workers to avoid oil sites that might be targeted. Other Saudi oil infrastructure has been attacked, including a refinery in Jazan and a key oil export port on the Red Sea coast. A cross-country pipeline that transports oil to global markets was also temporarily shut after an attack from Iraq.
These attacks are part of a series of strikes on Saudi Arabia, which have resulted in at least 18 deaths and hundreds of injuries.
