Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Houthis strike Saudi Aramco headquarters in Dhahran, damaging top three floors. The attack follows a week of strikes on Saudi airports and oil facilities, escalating tensions in the Gulf war.

The attack, attributed to Iran-backed rebels, follows a Houthi threat to target Dhahran with a ballistic missile. Saudi officials confirmed no casualties but reported limited fire at the Aramco building. The Saudi-led coalition intercepted multiple missiles and drones, including one targeting Dhahran.

The strikes have raised concerns about the security of key energy infrastructure and the potential for further escalation. The Houthis claim the attacks are retaliation for Saudi support of Yemen's government, highlighting the ongoing conflict's impact on regional stability and global markets.
