Summary
Saudi air defenses intercepted missiles and a drone launched toward Riyadh, the Eastern Province and southern areas, with the Saudi-led coalition attributing the launches to the Houthis; Saudi Arabia has not confirmed the claim. Falling debris from the interceptions damaged the Aramco tower in Riyadh's King Abdullah Financial District. A Reuters witness saw broken windows on several floors, and other witnesses described shattered glass and facade damage. The Saudi Energy Ministry called it an attempted attack and said the damage was minor, though accounts differ on how badly the building was harmed and whether anyone was inside. The Houthis had not clearly claimed the strike in the reports, though some reports say they claimed responsibility for the wider attack; the reports also describe a wider escalation in the conflict.
