Saudi official inspects Aramco Riyadh office after Houthi attack

SPA

Saudi Arabia's deputy governor of Riyadh inspected an Aramco administrative building in the capital that was damaged in an attack by Houthis, state news agency SPA reported early on Tuesday.

Prince Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Abdulaziz said the attack underscored the Houthis' targeting of civilian facilities, SPA said. He directed authorities to provide support for Aramco employees.

Saudi Arabia's Energy Ministry had reported on Sunday limited damage to the Aramco Tower in the capital's financial district, with no injuries or fatalities.

Houthis have ramped up strikes on Aramco facilities in recent weeks, targeting the kingdom's facilities, civilians, and civilian infrastructure.
