  "summary": "The Houthis claimed responsibility on Sunday for four military operations involving ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones that targeted the Riyadh financial district, Riyadh airport, Aramco oil storage tanks, and the city of Abqaiq, according to Middle East Eye. The Saudi-led coalition, however, accused the Houthi rebels of launching the missiles while noting that air defenses intercepted two ballistic and two cruise missiles targeting Riyadh and other regions, as reported by The Indian Express.\n\nAn administrative building belonging to Saudi Aramco in the King Abdullah Financial District was damaged during the incident. The Saudi Energy Ministry stated that falling shrapnel caused minor damage to the building and reported no casualties or injuries. Eyewitnesses told AFP that the skyscraper sustained damage, with one witness specifically identifying the Aramco tower in KAFD as the target. The Indian Express noted that witnesses described some floors as appearing heavily damaged while others showed damage to exterior glass.",
