Houthi Missiles Hit Riyadh — Aramco Tower Damaged in KAFD Attack

Описание: Missiles over Riyadh last night — and this time the target was the heart of Saudi Arabia's oil empire.

Saudi air defences intercepted the attack on Sunday 8 November 2026, but falling debris damaged an administrative tower of Saudi Aramco in the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD). The Saudi Energy Ministry says the damage was limited, with no casualties.

Coalition spokesman Major General Turki al-Maliki says air defences destroyed two ballistic missiles aimed at Riyadh, plus two cruise missiles. The Houthis claim they launched six operations, with missiles and drones targeting King Khalid International Airport, Aramco facilities in Riyadh and Khurais, and a pumping station near Dawadmi — those claims are attributed to the Houthis and not independently confirmed.

Fighting resumed in July, and an October attack on King Khalid airport killed thirteen people and wounded more than three hundred. The Houthis are demanding fifty-one billion dollars and recognition as Yemen's rulers before they stop — so oil markets will be watching every interception over Riyadh.
