Attempted Houthi attack damages Saudi Aramco building in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia says

Saudi Aramco’s Riyadh administrative building sustained shrapnel damage during an attempted attack.
Saudi defenses intercepted missiles targeting Riyadh, the Eastern province and southern Saudi Arabia.
The incident followed renewed Yemen fighting and escalating Houthi attacks on Saudi infrastructure.

An attempted attack damaged a Saudi Aramco administrative building in Riyadh after falling shrapnel struck the structure, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Energy said. No casualties were reported. The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted missiles launched by the Iran-aligned Houthis, including two aimed at Riyadh and another toward the Eastern province, as well as two missiles in the south and a drone. The incident adds to a broader escalation in Yemen’s war after a truce collapsed in July. The Houthis have targeted Saudi airports, refineries and Aramco facilities, while fighting between the group and Yemeni government forces has intensified. Houthi officials reported deadly Saudi-led airstrikes near Sanaa, though the claims were not independently verified and the coalition did not immediately comment.
