Saudi Aramco offices in Riyadh came under attack on Sunday in a fresh escalation in the kingdom’s conflict with the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen.

The oil giant’s administrative building was subject to an attempted attack, resulting in limited damage from debris, state-run Saudi Press Agency said on Sunday. There were no injuries or deaths caused by the incident.

Aramco’s office is located in the King Abdullah Financial District, which has been shut for remote work for almost a month.

Sunday’s incident adds to a series of other strikes on Aramco infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, including a strike in October on the oil giant’s headquarters in Dhahran. 

It is also perhaps the most significant attempt on Riyadh since a series of October strikes on the main airport there killed more than a dozen people and injured hundreds.

Saudi-led forces said on Sunday they intercepted ballistic and cruise missiles launched toward the capital, in addition to fending off attacks in the south and the east.
