RIYADH, NOV 8: An administrative building belonging to Saudi Aramco in Riyadh sustained minor damage after an attempted attack on Sunday, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Energy said, adding that no injuries or deaths were reported.
An official source at the ministry said the incident resulted in debris falling onto the building, causing limited damage.
The ministry said the relevant authorities had responded to the incident and were taking the necessary measures.
The incident comes amid a series of missile and drone interceptions across Saudi Arabia in recent days.
Earlier Sunday, the Saudi-led coalition announced the interception and destruction of two cruise missiles over the Riyadh and southern regions, following separate announcements that three ballistic missiles launched by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi militia had been intercepted while targeting Riyadh and the Kingdom’s Eastern Region.
Saudi Arabia’s Civil Defense also activated an early warning alert in Riyadh on Sunday before subsequently issuing an all-clear.
The Saudi-led coalition has reported multiple missile and drone interceptions in recent days, including a cruise missile targeting the Riyadh Region on Saturday and two ballistic missiles targeting Najran on Friday.
