Iran-backed Houthis strike Saudi oil company Aramco's headquarters, officials say

CAIRO — Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched an overnight attack on the headquarters of Saudi state-owned oil company Aramco, according to two regional officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. The strike, which occurred in the eastern Saudi Arabian city of Dhahran, resulted in damage to the offices of the firm's chief executive and other top officials.

The attack targeted the top three floors of the building. No casualties were reported in the incident. The Houthi rebels had previously warned they would target Dhahran with a ballistic missile. In a separate incident, the Houthis claimed to have struck the capital Sanaa on Wednesday evening. The Saudi coalition has not commented on the latest strikes, but the sight of smoke rising from sensitive Saudi facilities has raised concerns among global markets and increased questions for U.S. President Donald Trump, who is considering whether the U.S. should take action.
