On Sunday, an attack on a Saudi Aramco building in Riyadh resulted in damage caused by falling debris, though no injuries were reported. The King Abdullah Financial District, a prominent business area of Riyadh, was targeted. Yemen's Houthi group claimed responsibility for the attack, alleging multiple military operations against Saudi Arabia using various types of missiles and drones.
Saudi Arabia's air defenses intercepted and destroyed two ballistic and two cruise missiles launched by the Houthis. Riyadh's Financial District is a key economic hub and host to numerous international businesses. The Houthi group has stepped up attacks against Saudi Arabia, targeting energy infrastructure as hostilities between the two sides intensified.
The conflict in Yemen began in 2015, with the Saudi-led coalition intervening in support of the internationally recognized government. Recent tensions arose after the Houthis allowed an Iranian aircraft to land in Sanaa, leading to a maritime blockade and targeting of Saudi vessels and energy infrastructure. The United Nations reports over 1,600 deaths and 300,000 displacements since the latest cycle of fighting began.
