Riyadh Aramco office damaged by falling debris after missile interception

Falling fragments from an aerial interception damaged an office tower used by Saudi Aramco in Riyadh on Sunday, according to Saudi Arabia's Energy Ministry. Officials confirmed that nobody was hurt or killed during the incident.

The damage affected the Aramco Tower, a major high-rise situated within the capital city's King Abdullah Financial District. Windows spanning multiple levels of the skyscraper were shattered, an eyewitness reported to Reuters, though authorities described the overall structural impact as limited.

The incident occurred after military forces in the Saudi-led coalition intercepted a pair of missiles launched in the direction of Riyadh. Coalition officials attributed the intercepted weaponry to Yemen's Houthi movement, an Iran-aligned group.

Houthi forces have intensified their drone and missile operations targeting Saudi Arabian infrastructure, including maritime ports, civil airports, and petroleum installations, following an escalation in armed conflict that began in July.

Saudi authorities have not reported any interruption to Aramco operations as a result of the fallen debris.
