Iran live updates: Saudis say Houthi missiles targeted Riyadh, Aramco tower damaged

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Centre reported an attack on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday night.

The unnamed tanker was "struck by an unknown projectile while transiting outbound through the Strait of Hormuz," the alert read. "All crew are safe and accounted for and there is no reported environmental impact at this time."

In another incident on Saturday night, the UKMTO said "military authorities" reported a tanker on fire in the Strait of Hormuz which resulted in the evacuation of the ship's crew. The incident occurred 8 nautical miles northwest of Khasab, Oman, the UKMTO said.

Saudi Arabia's Energy Ministry on Sunday confirmed that a building in Riyadh owned by the country's state-owned energy giant Aramco was damaged during a Houthi attack on the city.

"The incident resulted in falling shrapnel that caused minor damage to the building, with no injuries or fatalities reported," the ministry said in a statement posted to X.

Saudi Arabian military spokesperson Col. Turki al-Maliki said in a series of posts to X on Sunday that Saudi air defenses intercepted three Houthi ballistic missiles, two cruise missiles and one drone launched toward Saudi regions.

Two of the ballistic missiles and both cruise missiles targeted the capital Riyadh, Maliki said.

The General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense on Sunday morning issues safety warnings for the capital city of Riyadh and for the southwestern city of Najran.

Shortly after the warnings were issued, the directorate said the danger had passed in both areas.

The Iran-aligned Houthi rebels in Yemen have been firing missiles and drones toward Saudi cities and critical infrastructure sites in recent months.
