Houthis Strike Saudi Aramco in Dhahran as 13 Killed in Riyadh Airport Attack

Saudi officials said a building at Aramco’s Dhahran complex was struck overnight, causing a limited fire but no casualties; two employees said a headquarters tower lost its top three floors.
Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree claimed missile-and-drone attacks on Aramco, Riyadh airport and a refinery in the capital, and warned more strikes on Saudi airports and oil facilities in coming days.
Riyadh also came under renewed pressure, with the Saudi-led coalition saying it intercepted a missile toward the capital as explosions and air-defence trails were seen over the city and phone alerts urged residents to shelter.
The attack follows Saturday’s strike on Riyadh’s international airport that killed 13 people, prompting remote learning, work-from-home orders and postponements of sports events even as Saudi Arabia plans to keep its investment conference on schedule.
The flare-up marks a sharper phase in Yemen’s war since fighting resumed in July, with Saudi retaliatory strikes hitting western Yemen and fuel queues forming in Houthi-held Sanaa.
