Riyadh financial district targeted, Aramco tower damaged: witnesses
Yemen's Houthis on Sunday claimed an attack on the financial district of the Saudi capital Riyadh, with eyewitnesses saying they saw damage to a skyscraper belonging to oil giant Aramco. Aramco facilities have been repeatedly struck by the Houthis in recent months, with tankers, refineries, storage areas and the company headquarters all targeted by the group.
Saudi Arabia said it intercepted Houthi missiles targeting Riyadh and other areas, according to Al Jazeera and Anadolu Agency. Al Jazeera reported that the Energy Ministry said falling shrapnel damaged a building in the capital. The Korea Herald reported damage to an Aramco building in Riyadh’s financial district, while Hindustan Times called the damage minor. The reports differ on whether missiles were intercepted or hit their target, and do not give a consistent account of the damage.
