Windows were shattered on several floors of Saudi Aramco's tower in Riyadh on Sunday, 8 November.

The building belongs to Saudi Arabia's state oil company. Officials say nobody was hurt.

Saudi authorities say falling debris caused the damage.

The Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted two ballistic missiles fired by Yemen's Houthi movement towards Riyadh.

The Houthis have claimed responsibility for attacks on Saudi targets, including the city's financial district.

### Key points

It houses leading Saudi and international companies.

It also holds the Saudi stock exchange and the headquarters of the Public Investment Fund.

The area also has homes, businesses and a metro station. So an attack here matters beyond one office building.

For you, the key point is simple. No oil supply disruption has been confirmed so far.

## What is still not confirmed?

The damage to the building is confirmed. But the exact projectile that hit the tower has not been independently established.

Saudi officials link the damage to debris from an intercepted attack.

One witness said they saw a projectile hit the tower but could not identify it.

The full repair work needed, and whether office work was disrupted, are also unclear.

The Houthi claim about other targets, including Riyadh airport and oil facilities, is their claim, not confirmed damage.

## What happens next for residents in Riyadh?

On Monday, 9 November, civil defence authorities briefly warned of further danger in Riyadh.

They later announced that the alert had ended. Officials continued to advise residents to follow safety instructions.

The fighting has brought repeated attacks on Saudi infrastructure and retaliatory strikes in Yemen.

This ends years of relative calm under a 2022 truce brokered by the United Nations.
