A skyscraper housing offices of Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil giant, Aramco, has been damaged in a missile and drone attack carried out by Yemen’s Houthi rebels.
The group claimed responsibility for Sunday’s attack, describing it as retaliation for strikes conducted over the weekend by the Saudi-led coalition. Those strikes reportedly left more than 50 people dead, including women and children.
The Aramco Tower, located in Riyadh’s King Abdullah Financial District, sustained visible damage across several floors. The explosions shattered windows, destroyed sections of the building’s glass façade and exposed parts of its internal structure.
Footage circulating online showed significant damage to the skyscraper’s exterior, while witnesses reported hearing several explosions in different parts of the Saudi capital.
