  "account": "Riad/Sanaa - A fire broke out at the central office of Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil company Aramco, likely due to an attack by Yemeni Huthi militia, according to the country's energy ministry in Riyadh. The ministry stated that the incident resulted in a \"limited fire\" and no one was injured. Saudi Arabia's military alliance against the Huthi claimed that a rocket from the militia was intercepted and destroyed at the site. Aramco is the kingdom's state-owned oil giant, located in the eastern metropolis of Dammam, where oil production and exports are managed. Previously, the Huthi had threatened Aramco's central office and the Riyaadh airport with attacks if Saudi Arabia were to attack the Yemeni capital Sanaa. The Huthi have controlled Sanaa for nearly a decade. Saudi civil defense reported that two artillery shells were intercepted over the capital Riyaadh in the night, causing four people to be injured and 15 homes to be damaged. Meanwhile, fighting in Yemen, including in the province of Tais, continues. The Huthi reportedly took control of a major access point to Tais, following heavy clashes with soldiers of the internationally recognized government. Tais is the third-largest city in Yemen and has been under siege for years. The Huthi aimed to fully capture the strategically important location, causing dramatic consequences for thousands of families. According to UN estimates, nearly 200,000 people have been displaced. The healthcare system in Yemen is poor, and diseases like cholera and measles are spreading due to refugee movements.",
