Attack on Aramco Facilities

Yahya Saree, the military spokesman for the Houthis in Yemen, stated that they carried out comprehensive military operations targeting the Aramco facilities in Dhahran, as well as the Riyadh airport and a refinery in the capital.

A Saudi energy ministry official stated that a limited fire broke out as a result of the Aramco building in Dhahran being hit, but no one was killed or injured in the incident.

Explosion Sounds in the Capital Riyadh

While loud explosion sounds were heard in Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh, coalition forces announced that a missile launched by the Iran-backed group had been intercepted.
