Saudi Aramco's administrative offices in Riyadh sustained limited damage Sunday when Houthi missiles targeted the capital and the Eastern Province, Saudi Press Agency reported. The attack on the building in King Abdullah Financial District caused damage from falling debris but no casualties.
Saudi-led forces intercepted ballistic and cruise missiles launched toward Riyadh and the kingdom's southern and eastern regions. Saudi Arabia's civil defence authority lifted emergency alerts across several Eastern Province locations including Dhahran, Dammam, Abqaiq and Al-Ahsa after the interception.
The financial district has operated under remote-working arrangements for nearly a month following earlier attacks. Dhahran, which hosts Saudi Aramco's headquarters, sustained extensive damage in an October attack. Abqaiq houses oil processing facilities critical to Saudi Arabia's crude production and export operations.
Authorities reported no casualties from Sunday's Aramco office incident and did not identify any disruption to oil production or exports. The Houthis have repeatedly launched missiles and drones against Saudi airports, ports and oil installations since the regional conflict began with U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran in February.
Saudi Aramco holds strategic importance to global energy supplies given its position as a major crude exporter and the location of most of the kingdom's oil and gas reserves in the Eastern Province.
