A Saudi Arabia official confirmed that debris from intercepted Houthi missiles injured four people in Riyadh. The attack also caused damage to 15 buildings, including an administrative building belonging to Aramco in Dhahran. The incident occurred as the Saudi-led coalition intercepted multiple Houthi missiles over the capital.
The Saudi energy ministry stated that the Aramco facility in Dhahran experienced a “limited fire” following the attack. The fire was contained quickly, and no major damage was reported beyond the structural impact. The injured individuals were treated for minor injuries, and their condition remains stable.
The attack follows a series of clashes between the Saudi-led coalition and Houthi forces in Yemen. On Tuesday evening, the coalition intercepted several Houthi missiles, including those targeting Riyadh. The ongoing conflict in Yemen has seen increased military activity, with both sides targeting each other’s infrastructure and military installations.
The Saudi Arabia military has repeatedly accused the Houthis of launching attacks on civilian and military targets within the kingdom. In response, the coalition has conducted strikes on Houthi “vital assets” in Yemen. The recent incidents highlight the continued escalation of hostilities between the two sides.
The situation remains tense, with both parties maintaining their positions and continuing to engage in military operations. The international community continues to call for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, but no significant progress has been made so far.
