Saudi Arabia's Energy Ministry said on Sunday that an administrative building belonging to Aramco in Riyadh was the target of an «attempted attack» and that falling shrapnel caused it limited damage, with no injuries or deaths, according to Arab News and Reuters.
CNN gives a different account: a missile struck a multi-storey Aramco building in the King Abdullah Financial District, according to several witnesses and a geolocated video the network says it verified, which shows damage to the upper floors. One witness said they saw ambulances heading to the area.
The Saudi-led coalition said it had intercepted two ballistic missiles fired by the Houthis towards Riyadh and two cruise missiles in the Riyadh and southern regions, according to Arab News. Civil Defense issued alerts in Riyadh and other areas, which it later lifted. CNN notes that the Houthis had not claimed the attack.
Aramco did not comment immediately, according to Reuters. None of the sources consulted mentions any effect on oil production or supply.
This story stands on its own facts. The Post Apocalyptic does not link it to other incidents unless the sources demonstrate a connection.
