Several windows across multiple floors of Saudi oil giant Aramco’s corporate building in Riyadh were shattered on Sunday after debris from an attempted attack struck the structure, according to Saudi Arabia’s Energy Ministry.
The incident occurred at Aramco Tower, located in the heart of Riyadh’s financial district. The ministry confirmed that the building had sustained limited damage and that no injuries or deaths had been reported. However, Saudi authorities did not identify those responsible for the attempted attack.
Meanwhile, the Saudi-led coalition, which is involved in the conflict against Iran-aligned Houthi rebels in Yemen, said the country’s air defence systems had intercepted Houthi missiles over Riyadh during the early hours of Sunday.
