Houthis Strike Aramco Compound

What happened

Saudi Arabia said an attack hit an administrative building at Aramco’s Dhahran complex, causing a limited fire and no injuries. Saudi-led forces struck the Al-Sabaha fuel distribution hub in Houthi-controlled Yemen, saying it supported attacks on Saudi Arabia and shipping routes. The Houthi-controlled Yemen Oil Company said the site’s tanks were empty and supplies were unaffected. The fighting follows repeated Houthi attacks on Saudi infrastructure, including a missile strike on Riyadh’s airport that killed more than a dozen people. Saudi officials said they intercepted missiles and drones, with debris injuring four people. President Trump said he was considering whether the United States should join Saudi-led attacks.
