The Iran-backed Houthis launched an attack on the headquarters of Saudi Aramco in Dhahran, eastern Saudi Arabia, according to regional officials. The strike occurred overnight, targeting the company's executive offices. The attack caused a fire at the facility, though no casualties were reported.
The strike followed a series of exchanges between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, with both sides escalating military actions. Saudi authorities confirmed the attack on the Aramco building, which is a key facility for the state-owned oil company. The fire was contained, and the damage is described as limited.
This attack marks another escalation in the ongoing conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, who control Yemen’s capital, Sana’a. The Houthis have previously issued warnings against attacks on high-profile targets, but this strike demonstrates their continued ability to strike Saudi infrastructure. In response, the Houthis vowed to launch further attacks on Saudi airports and oil facilities.
The conflict has seen repeated clashes, with Saudi-led coalition strikes targeting Houthi positions in Yemen. The latest attack on Aramco adds to the growing tensions in the region, as both sides continue to accuse each other of escalating hostilities. The situation remains volatile, with no immediate signs of de-escalation.
