A Saudi air attack targeted the Aramco Tower in Riyadh's financial district, according to BBC News. This marks the second instance in less than a month where the Aramco skyscraper was struck by a missile or drone from the Yemen-based Houthi militia. The Houthi-controlled Saba news agency announced the strike on November 7, but did not specify the target location.
The Saudi energy ministry reported minimal damage to the tower and no casualties. However, verified video footage by BBC's "Verify" service showed significant harm to the building, with at least one floor severely damaged and numerous windows shattered. This incident represents a new level of aggression by the Houthis, who have recently launched attacks deep within Saudi territory, including Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport.
The severity of these attacks compelled the Saudis to cancel the "Davos in the Desert," Future Investment Initiative (FII) conference, scheduled for October 26-29.
