Riyadh’s financial district was targeted in a missile attack on November 8, 2026, and an Aramco tower in the area was reported damaged, according to multiple reports.
Witnesses cited by The Hindu reported shattered glass, damage to part of the tower’s facade and apparent damage across multiple floors. Explosions were heard in Riyadh during the reported attack.
Saudi-led coalition spokesperson Turki al-Malki said air defenses intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles launched toward Riyadh. He also said two cruise missiles launched toward Riyadh and southern Saudi Arabia were destroyed, according to Clarín.
The Saudi-led coalition attributed the launches to the Houthis, a claim presented in the supplied reports as an attribution rather than independently confirmed. The reports do not establish the full extent of structural damage or whether there were casualties.
