Yemen’s Houthi militants attacked a Saudi Aramco administrative building in Dhahran on Tuesday, causing a limited fire and damage to several floors, according to the Saudi Energy Ministry and individuals familiar with the incident. No injuries or fatalities were reported, and Aramco did not respond to requests for comment. The Houthis stated they targeted the facility in retaliation for Saudi strikes on Yemeni oil infrastructure and warned that they would continue attacking Saudi energy sites and airports.
