Saudi Aramco headquarters was hit by a suspected Houthi militia attack, triggering a brief fire, according to the Saudi Energy Ministry. The energy ministry stated there were no casualties. The Saudi-led coalition claimed they intercepted and destroyed a Houthis-launched missile. Saudi Aramco, a world's most valuable company, is located in Dammam, managing oil production and exports.
Houthis had threatened attacks on Aramco and Riyadh's airport if Saudi Arabia struck Sana'a, which they have controlled for a decade. Houthis claimed they used drones, missiles, and cruise missiles to cause "fires and destruction" at Aramco HQ and other locations. Saudi civil defense reported two cruise missiles intercepted over Riyadh, injuring four from debris and causing damage to 15 houses.
Fighting persists in Yemen, including in Taiz, where Houthi forces seized a crucial access point after weeks of clashes. The Houthis aim to fully control this strategically important city.
