Saudi Aramco administrative building attacked, limited fire reported

Authorities said the strike caused a limited fire at an Aramco office building and left four people wounded by missile debris in the capital.

  • On Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, a Houthi-launched ballistic missile struck Saudi Aramco's headquarters in Dhahran, igniting a fire in an administrative tower. Saudi energy ministry officials confirmed the fire was extinguished with no casualties reported.
  • Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree had previously warned that Aramco facilities were 'legitimate targets' in retaliation for coalition airstrikes on Sanaa. The strike followed the Saudi-led coalition's bombing of fuel depots in the Yemeni capital.
  • Fragments from two intercepted Houthi missiles fell on residential areas in Riyadh, damaging 15 homes and injuring four people—two women, a man, and a child—according to Saudi Civil Defense. Aramco employees were instructed to work from home.
  • Saudi Arabia's cabinet vowed the kingdom 'will not allow any threat to its security or to freedom of maritime navigation in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait.' The coalition subsequently struck fuel facilities in Sanaa targeting Houthi military capabilities.
  • Intensifying hostilities between the Saudi-led coalition and Iran-backed Houthis signal a widening Middle East crisis threatening vital energy infrastructure. This escalation extends beyond airports to corporate headquarters, underscoring risks to global oil supplies and regional stability.
