Missile strike damages Saudi Aramco headquarters as Saudi-Houthi conflict escalates
A ballistic missile struck an administrative building within Saudi Aramco’s headquarters complex in Dhahran on October 13, damaging the top three floors and triggering a limited fire, according to reports.
Saudi Arabia’s Energy Ministry confirmed the fire and said there were no casualties at the site. The attack was reported amid escalating hostilities between Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthi movement.
Separately, four people were injured in Riyadh after debris from intercepted missiles fell on residential areas, damaging 15 homes, Saudi Civil Defense said.
The Saudi-led coalition has launched retaliatory strikes against Houthi-linked fuel and energy facilities in Yemen, raising concerns over further escalation across the region.
