Yemen's Houthis claim attack on Aramco building in Riyadh's financial district
A skyscraper belonging to Saudi oil giant Aramco was hit by a Houthi-claimed attack on Sunday, blowing out windows across several floors but causing no casualties. The Iran-aligned group has repeatedly targeted Aramco facilities and infrastructure.
A building belonging to Saudi oil giant Aramco was damaged in a missile attack on Riyadh's financial district, with windows blown out according to video footage on social media. Saudi authorities reported that the impact was minimal, with no injuries or fatalities. However, a witness mentioned seeing ambulances heading to the area.
The Houthis have not claimed responsibility, and Saudi forces intercepted and destroyed two cruise missiles launched by the militant group. The missile attacks followed a day after Yemen's Houthi-run health ministry reported that Saudi airstrikes had killed at least 33 people near Sanaa, including women and children. The Houthis have vowed to continue the missile strikes against Saudi Arabia as long as the Kingdom carries out airstrikes in Yemen and enforces a blockade.
