Houthis Vow More Attacks After Strike on Aramco Headquarters
Houthis Vow More Attacks After Strike on Aramco Headquarters Yemen's Houthis said Wednesday they will resume attacks on Saudi airports and oil facilities "in the coming days," after Saudi authorities reported a limited fire at Aramco's office complex in Dhahran during a Houthi missile attack Tuesday night.
The Houthisclaimed strikeson Aramco facilities in Dhahran, an Aramco refinery in Riyadh and King Khalid International Airport.
The Houthis called the sites legitimate targets and urged international shipping companies, civilians and workers to evacuate Saudi airports and oil facilities.
Turki Al-Malki, spokesman for the Saudi-led Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen, said a ballistic missile aimed at Dhahran on Tuesdaywas intercepted and destroyed, and that debris from the interception fell on a residential area.
Three people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters the fire at the Dhahran complex spread across several floors.
Two of them said operations at Aramco were continuing normally, with employees working from home.
Two regional officials told the Associated Press that the top three floors of a building used by senior Aramco executives were damaged.
One official saidthe CEO’s office was among those hit.
Earlier on Wednesday, the coalition said it intercepted a ballistic missile fired toward Riyadh, and several loud booms were heard in the capital, Reuters reported.
A witness told Reuters that authorities issued an alert for a possible aerial threat and then lifted it.
Saudi Civil Defence said debris from two missiles intercepted Tuesday injured four people, including a child, and damaged 15 homes in Riyadh, according to the AP.
In response, Saudi-led forces have struck oil sites in western Yemen that the coalition said supply the Houthis.
