A Saudi Aramco administrative building in Riyadh's King Abdullah Financial District was damaged on Sunday after an attempted missile attack. Saudi Arabia's Energy Ministry said falling shrapnel caused minor damage to the building and that no injuries or fatalities were reported. Witnesses reported hearing a loud explosion, and a Reuters witness saw blown-out windows across several floors of the Aramco Tower, one of the tallest buildings in the district. The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted missiles it blames on Yemen's Houthis, which were aimed at the capital and other regions, and some reports mention two cruise missiles.

The attack puts the spotlight on one of the most visible symbols of Saudi Arabia's economic reform drive, a glass-skyscraper district that is home to major companies. It also comes as the wider regional war involving Iran continues, with fighting between the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition spreading around the Red Sea. The gap between the ministry's description of "minor" damage and the witness accounts of broken windows across several floors raises questions about how serious the damage really is. It is still unclear how Saudi Arabia will respond, and whether further strikes on its economic infrastructure could follow.
