Saudi Arabia's Energy Ministry said a Saudi Aramco administrative building in Riyadh was damaged by falling debris after an attempted attack on Sunday, with no injuries or deaths reported, Iran International reported. The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles launched toward Riyadh by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis, and later reported intercepting two cruise missiles targeting Riyadh and the kingdom's southern region; Iran International said a Reuters witness saw windows blown out across several floors of the Aramco Tower, the ministry described the damage as limited, and no link between the interceptions and the building damage was confirmed.
