The headquarters of Saudi Arabia\u2019s state-owned oil company, the <\/span>Aramco Tower in Riyadh\u2019s central financial district<\/span><\/a>, has been hit by an air attack, reports BBC News. This is the <\/span>second time in less than a month<\/span><\/a> that an Aramco skyscraper has been damaged by a missile or drone attack from the Yemen-based, Iran-backed militia.<\/span><\/p>\n

A statement issued via the Houthi-controlled Saba news agency confirmed the group had <\/span>targeted Riyadh’s business zone<\/span><\/a> on November 7, without mentioning the Aramco Tower by name.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Saudi energy ministry said the tower had suffered only “minor damage,” and that no one had been killed or injured. However, video footage authenticated by BBC\u2019s \u201cVerify\u201d service indicates extensive damage to the building, with at least one floor appearing to have been badly hit, and windows on several floors shattered.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the latest in a series of attacks the Houthis have achieved deep within Saudi territory, including <\/span>Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport, over recent months \u2013 a new level of hostility sufficiently alarming that the Saudis canceled the \u201cDavos in the Desert,\u201d Future Investment Initiative<\/strong><\/span> (FII) conference, scheduled for October 26-29.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
