Saudi Aramco Tells Staff to Evacuate Dhahran Headquarters: Reuters
The company ordered staff to work remotely after attacks killed at least four people and injured eight at Saudi airports and oil facilities, officials said.
- Saudi Aramco has reportedly instructed staff to evacuate its headquarters in Dhahran, according to sources familiar with the matter.
- The reported evacuation order has raised concerns about potential security risks affecting the Saudi oil giant’s operations.
- The decision follows a recent Houthi missile strike that reportedly damaged Aramco’s headquarters, with fires spreading across several floors of the building.
- The evacuation comes after an attack on King Fahd International Airport in Dammam killed two people and injured eight others, according to Saudi authorities.
- Separately, Saudi air defences intercepted a drone targeting Aramco’s Shaybah oilfield, with falling debris killing two people, as regional hostilities heightened concerns over the security of critical energy infrastructure.
