Saudi Aramco tower hit in Houthi attack on Riyadh, windows shattered, floors damaged | Video
Meanwhile, the Saudi-led coalition said it had intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles launched towards Riyadh.
A Saudi Aramco building in Riyadh was damaged by shrapnel during an attack on Sunday morning, according to the country's Ministry of Energy. The incident occurred amidst escalating tensions between Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Eyewitnesses reported that the target was the King Abdullah Financial District, with damage to multiple floors and shattered windows in the Aramco tower.
Saudi Arabia's forces claimed to have intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles headed towards Riyadh. No casualties were reported. This marks the most significant attack on Riyadh since Houthi militants targeted the city's main airport last month, causing significant casualties and disrupting air traffic. The attack could pressure Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is working to keep his economic diversification plans on track amid ongoing Houthi attacks.
