Saudi Arabia says intercepted missiles left debris damage at Riyadh Aramco offices

Note

The Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted two Houthi ballistic missiles toward Riyadh on Sunday, Nov 8. Falling debris caused limited damage to an Aramco administrative building with no casualties, Saudi Arabia's Energy Ministry said, France 24 reports.

The ministry describes debris damage to offices, not a direct missile hit or a refinery strike.

AP, opened via WTOP, reports that the coalition said it intercepted two ballistic missiles and two cruise missiles targeting Riyadh and other regions. AP also reports witnesses describing damage across multiple floors, some apparently heavy, while the ministry called the damage minor.

The casualty statement and limited-damage assessment are Saudi ministry statements. The coalition attributes the ballistic missiles to the Houthis. These accounts should not be read as an independently established direct hit on oil production infrastructure.
