Summary

On November 8, 2026, Saudi air defenses reportedly intercepted missiles aimed at Riyadh, including ballistic and cruise missiles, with the Saudi-led coalition blaming the Houthis for the ballistic missiles; the Houthis have not confirmed the attack and Saudi Arabia has not confirmed the claims in the reports. Falling debris from the interceptions reportedly damaged an Aramco administrative building in Riyadh's King Abdullah Financial District, breaking windows on several floors; one witness said a projectile struck the building. Accounts differ on the number of missiles and on whether a separate ballistic missile was intercepted over the Eastern Province. The Saudi Energy Ministry described the damage as minor.
