Saudi Arabia Strikes Yemen Oil Sites

Saudi Arabia said on Wednesday that an attack on an Aramco building in the kingdom’s east sparked a “limited fire” and that debris from intercepted Houthi missiles wounded four people in the capital Riyadh.

After Houthi strikes on Saudi airports and energy sites in recent days, the Saudi-led coalition issued its first evacuation order in the Yemeni capital since the war flared in July, before attacking the Yemen Petroleum Company facility on Sana'a's outskirts.

Swiftly responding to the earlier coalition warning, the Houthis had issued a threat to target Riyadh’s international airport, a refinery, and an Aramco facility in Dammam if the strike went ahead.

An attack at Riyadh’s airport on Saturday left 13 people dead and operations suspended, rocking the world’s top crude oil exporter and deepening the war in Yemen, where the kingdom backs the internationally recognised government.
