Houthi Attack on Aramco Skyscraper in Riyadh, Digi Mart USA News (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia): Yemen’s Houthi rebels on Sunday, November 8, 2026, claimed a series of attacks using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones against various civilian, energy and military targets in Saudi Arabia, including King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and facilities of the state oil company Aramco.
Earlier, the Saudi Ministry of Energy reported a strike against “an administrative building belonging to Aramco in Riyadh.” The ministry said debris fell on the building, causing what it described as “minor” damage and no injuries or deaths.
A Houthi military spokesman, Yahya Sarea, said in a statement that the movement launched four operations. The first targeted the capital’s airport, Aramco oil storage tanks and Riyadh’s Financial Center, which Sarea said were “direct and precise” and “caused significant damage.”
Sarea added that the Houthis also targeted Aramco facilities in Abqaiq, east of Riyadh, as well as “concentrations of Saudi troops” in Al Jawf province and the Yemeni administrative districts of Marib and Lahj. He said the attacks were a response to coalition bombings that killed 33 civilians east of the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, on Saturday.
A witness said several floors of the tower appeared damaged, with broken windows and destruction on part of the facade. The Saudi-led military coalition reported intercepting at least five ballistic missiles.
Houthi attacks on civilian infrastructure, including energy facilities and airports such as the one in Riyadh, have intensified alongside a government offensive backed by Saudi Arabia to recover territory held by the insurgents, which also includes bombardments of civilian areas.
