Summary

On November 8, 2026, the Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted two ballistic missiles that the Houthis had fired toward Riyadh, along with cruise missiles aimed at the capital and other areas. Debris from the interceptions fell on an Aramco-owned administrative building in Riyadh's King Abdullah Financial District, causing minor damage. The Saudi energy ministry called it an attempted attack on the structure. A witness reported that a projectile struck the building. The Houthis had not claimed responsibility for the strike, and accounts differ on how badly the building was harmed and whether anyone was inside. The incident occurred amid escalating Houthi missile and drone attacks on Saudi targets.
