The Aramco building was damaged by the Houthis' ground attack.
Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Energy announced that an office building belonging to the state oil company Aramco in Riyadh was damaged by debris from an unsuccessful ground attack. No one was killed or injured in this incident.
This incident occurred while the Saudi-led military coalition announced that it had intercepted two missiles launched by the Houthis in Yemen towards Riyadh. The Saudi Ministry of Energy described the amount of damage to the building as limited.
Aramco has yet to comment on this incident and the Houthis have not responded so far.
Earlier, Reuters reported that several explosions were heard in Riyadh. These voices were heard shortly after the Saudi Civil Defense Organization warned of the possibility of a threat in the region. The Saudi authorities later announced that the danger had been removed. The Saudi military coalition also announced that it had intercepted and destroyed two cruise missiles in Riyadh and the southern region of this country.
