Saudi Aramco HQ hit as Houthis & Riyadh trade strikes Oct 15, 2026

Description

Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthis traded fresh strikes on energy infrastructure, with the Iran-backed group again targeting the Saudi capital and appearing to hit the headquarters of Saudi state oil giant Aramco.

Saudi authorities said an administrative building belonging to Aramco in the Eastern Province city of Dhahran, where the company is headquartered, was targeted. It caused a limited fire, but it’s unclear whether this was due to a direct hit or falling debris. No injuries were reported.
