An administrative building belonging to the Saudi national oil company, Saudi Aramco, in Riyadh has sustained minor damage in an attack, with no casualties reported, the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Energy reported.

"An administrative building belonging to Saudi Aramco in Riyadh was subjected to an attempted attack on Sunday <…>. The incident resulted in falling shrapnel that caused minor damage to the building, with no injuries or fatalities reported," the statement reads.

The Houthis from the Yemeni rebel movement Ansar Allah say they have also struck Saudi Aramco facilities in in Abqaiq.

"The strike was a direct hit, which caused a fire at the facilities," Houthi spokesman Yahya Saria said.

On Saturday, Saria said that the Houthis has attacked King Khalid Airport and Saudi Aramco facilities in Riyadh, as well as targets in other Saudi regions. He claimed that the attacks had been conducted in response to Saudi-led coalition’s strikes against populated localities in Yemen.
