Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Energy said on Sunday that an administrative building belonging to Saudi Aramco in Riyadh was targeted in an attempted attack, leaving only minor damage and no casualties. The ministry’s statement, posted on social media platform X, described falling shrapnel as the cause of the limited damage.
The claim came after the Saudi‑led coalition announced that it had intercepted two cruise missiles over Riyadh and two ballistic missiles launched by the Houthi group towards the capital, according to Xinhua coverage.
Officials said authorities had responded swiftly, taking the necessary measures to secure the site and ensure safety for those nearby. The incident adds to a series of threats directed at Saudi infrastructure amid ongoing regional tensions.
