Saudi Aramco Riyadh Offices Damaged by Debris Following Intercepted Houthi Missile Attack

An administrative building belonging to Saudi Aramco in Riyadh's King Abdullah Financial District sustained damage from falling debris after an attempted missile attack on Sunday, according to Saudi authorities. No casualties were reported, and direct physical disruptions to crude supply and production remain contained. The Saudi-led coalition intercepted cruise and ballistic missiles launched by Yemen's Houthi forces aimed at Riyadh and the kingdom's southern region. The strike follows recent escalation, including October attacks on Riyadh's airport that killed 17, and brief threat alerts across the oil-rich Eastern Province, adding an elevated geopolitical risk premium to energy markets.
