An Aramco HQ hit may show Saudi oil joining confirmed targets

Saudi Arabia’s energy ministry said an attack the Houthis claimed caused a “limited fire” at an administrative building in Aramco’s Dhahran headquarters overnight into Wednesday, the BBC reported; Reuters sources said a ballistic missile hit an office tower there. A Saturday Riyadh airport strike killed 12 and wounded 309, Saudi authorities said; the coalition blamed Iran-backed Houthis, who had not claimed it at the time. Earlier, Houthis claimed an Aramco hit near Riyadh that the coalition called “misleading.” Read together, they may show Saudi oil sites joining confirmed targets.
