Two ballistic missiles were reportedly aimed at Riyadh's financial district on Sunday, with falling debris damaging the Aramco Tower, according to live reporting. The Saudi-led coalition reportedly intercepted the missiles before they could cause wider harm.
The attack came shortly after Saudi air strikes near Sanaa, in Yemen, which reportedly killed at least 33 people. The strikes are part of the coalition's ongoing fight against the Houthi rebels, the opposing group in Yemen's conflict.
The reporting does not make clear who launched the missiles toward Riyadh. The Saudi capital and its financial district have not previously been named as targets in the details available so far, and the link between the missile launch and the Sanaa strikes has not been officially confirmed in the notes supplied.
The event was documented as a live update, and further developments have not yet been reported. Residents and businesses in the Saudi capital, and observers following the Yemen conflict, are likely to be watching for official statements on the attack, the damage to the Aramco Tower and the casualty figures from the strikes in Yemen.
