Summary
Saudi Arabia's air defenses and the Saudi-led coalition reported intercepting ballistic missiles and cruise missiles aimed at Riyadh and other areas, including the Eastern Province; the coalition blamed the Houthis, and the Houthis have not been confirmed by Saudi Arabia as the source of the attack. Debris from the interceptions fell on an Aramco administrative building in the King Abdullah Financial District of Riyadh. Witnesses reported broken windows and visible damage to several floors and part of the facade. The Saudi Energy Ministry described the damage as minor. Accounts differ on how badly the building was harmed and whether anyone was inside, and the Houthis had not claimed the strike in some reports, though they have claimed similar attacks previously. The incident occurred amid an escalation in Houthi missile and drone attacks on Saudi targets since July.
