AP cited two regional officials saying Iran-backed Houthi forces attacked ARAMCO’s headquarters overnight, damaging the top three floors of a building used by senior executives and reportedly striking the CEO’s office; no casualties were reported. The Houthis said they used a ballistic missile against Dhahran. The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted a ballistic missile headed for Dhahran, multiple cruise and ballistic missiles and drones aimed at Riyadh, and a cruise missile bound for a site that hosts Prince Sultan Air Base and a state-owned military-industrial company.
