Saudi Aramco Tower was damaged in an attack by Yemen’s Houthis, per The New York Times. The assault targeted Riyadh’s financial district, with officials confirming limited structural damage.

Al Jazeera reports that the missile strike occurred during the early evening hours, hitting a building owned by the Saudi oil giant. The attack is part of a broader pattern of Houthi operations in the region.

Bloomberg notes that the incident underscores growing security concerns amid ongoing regional tensions. No injuries were reported following the strike, which occurred near the city’s central business district.
