Yemen’s Houthi movement reportedly struck a building at Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil company Saudi Aramco’s headquarters complex in Dhahran on October 13, 2026, as tensions between the two sides continued to rise.
According to Reuters, a ballistic missile hit an office tower inside the complex, damaging its upper three floors. Saudi Arabia’s Energy Ministry confirmed that an administrative building had been targeted, causing a limited fire. No deaths or injuries were reported at the site.
The Houthis later claimed responsibility for attacks targeting Aramco facilities in Dhahran and Riyadh, along with King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital. The group said the strikes were retaliation for Saudi-led attacks on Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.
Saudi air defence forces have also intercepted missiles and drones aimed at several locations across the kingdom. Debris from intercepted missiles reportedly damaged homes in Riyadh.
The latest attacks have raised concerns about the safety of Saudi Arabia’s oil infrastructure and the risk of further disruption to regional energy supplies. The Houthis have threatened additional strikes against Saudi airports and oil facilities.
