An administrative building at Saudi Aramco’s headquarters in Dhahran, eastern Saudi Arabia, was attacked late Tuesday, the Energy Ministry said Wednesday. The incident caused a limited fire.
A source told Reuters that an office tower was hit and the building’s top three floors were damaged. No one was injured in the attack.
Saudi officials said missiles and drones had been intercepted over Dhahran and Riyadh. Debris falling in residential areas injured four people in the capital and damaged 15 homes.
Anadolu Agency reported that those injured when debris from two cruise missiles fell in Riyadh were two women, a man and a child. Saudi Arabia’s Civil Defense said the missiles had been launched by Yemen’s Houthis and intercepted on Tuesday. Emergency measures were taken after the incident.
The attacks came as fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-backed Houthis intensified. The Houthis are a Yemeni armed group that has carried out missile and drone attacks in the region, while Saudi Arabia has frequently reported intercepting such threats.
