After the Saudi coalition attacked the Yemeni fuel depot, a Houthi missile hit the Aramco building

Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Energy says the Houthi attack caused a "limited fire" at Aramco's central complex in Dhahran.

A missile fired by Yemen's Houthi movement hit a building belonging to Saudi Arabia's state oil company Aramco in the eastern city of Dhahran overnight after the Saudi-led coalition attacked a fuel depot near the Yemeni capital Sanaa.

Saudi Arabia's energy ministry said the Houthi attack caused a "limited fire" in an office building at Aramco's central complex.

Saudi officials reported that several missiles and drones were intercepted elsewhere, and falling debris injured four people in the capital Riyadh.

The Houthis said they targeted Aramco and Riyadh airport in response to a coalition attack on Yemen Oil Company's Sabah facilities on Tuesday.

This Iran-backed group also warned that there will be more attacks in the coming days.

Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, said an escalation of the conflict could have "potential negative spillovers for everyone, everywhere".

The Saudi cabinet, headed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, vowed on Tuesday that the Houthis would suffer "consequences" for their recent attacks on the kingdom, including Saturday's missile attack on Riyadh airport that killed 13 people.

The Houthis have said they are targeting airports, oil and gas facilities and military bases in Saudi Arabia in retaliation for deadly Saudi airstrikes on territory they control in western Yemen, including Sana'a.

The Saudi-led coalition is supporting Yemeni pro-government forces that are on the offensive against the Houthis on Yemen's Red Sea coast and other front lines.

On Tuesday evening, Major General Turki Al-Maliki, the spokesman of the coalition, said that the forces of the coalition intercepted and destroyed the ballistic missile fired by the Houthis towards Dhahran, but its debris fell in a residential area.

Later, the Saudi Energy Ministry said an Aramco building in the city had been targeted, causing "limited fire" but no injuries.

One of Aramco's employees quoted Ambassador Arjan as saying: "Three floors have gone up."

Maliki said: The coalition also intercepted missiles and drones that were launched towards Riyadh, Al-Kharj and Haraz, as well as the south of the country on Tuesday and Wednesday morning.

The General Directorate of Civil Defense said two women, a man and a child were injured by debris from two intercepted cruise missiles in Riyadh, which also caused "limited material damage" to 15 houses in the city.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said Wednesday morning that they targeted Aramco headquarters in Dhahran, an Aramco refinery in Riyadh and the capital's King Khalid International Airport with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones.

He added: "The operation will continue deep into Saudi Arabia in the coming days and will target the airports and oil installations of the enemy of Saudi Arabia."

The Houthis had threatened a "tough and painful" response to Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen on Tuesday afternoon.

Houthi media reported that airstrikes targeted Yemen Oil Company's Sabah central station in the western suburbs of Sana'a, as well as its facilities at the Ras Issa oil terminal on the Red Sea coast, north of the port city of Hodeidah.

The Houthi Ministry of Health announced that two civilians were killed and two others were wounded in the Ras Isa attack.

The coalition had earlier issued a rare warning to civilians to evacuate the Sabah fuel depot and said it was planning a "special operation".

Queues reportedly formed at gas stations in Sanaa following the warning, with many residents worried about shortages.

The Houthi-run Yemen Oil Company issued a statement seeking to reassure them, saying the facility "does not contain any reserves of petroleum products".

The company also said that it has "taken all necessary preventive measures to address any emergency situation, ensure the stability of the supply situation and continue to meet the needs of citizens as normal."

Maliki said the coalition targeted al-Sabah and other facilities because they supported "terrorist military operations" by the Houthis.

He added: "The militias have fully used these sites to support their war efforts by providing their arsenal of missiles and [drones] that threaten the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the safety of airports, ports and commercial ships in the Red Sea."

Houthi media also reported on Wednesday that a Saudi airstrike killed a woman in the southwestern Shamaytin region, and artillery fire killed two civilians in the northwestern Shada region near the Saudi border.

Yemen has been devastated by a civil war that began in 2014, when the Houthis ousted the internationally recognized government from Sanaa. The conflict intensified in 2015 after the intervention of a coalition of Arab countries led by Saudi Arabia in an attempt to restore the government's sovereignty.

An unofficial four-year ceasefire began in July, when the Houthis declared a "maritime embargo" on Saudi Arabia and launched missile and drone attacks on Saudi airports, oil facilities and tankers in the Red Sea.

The Houthis said they were retaliating against Saudi Arabia's blockade of their territory, as well as an airstrike on Sana'a airport, which they blamed on the kingdom.

The conflict escalated in September after the Houthis seized part of Yemen's southwestern Red Sea coast near the Bab al-Mandab strait, a stopover for global shipping. Their advance helped boost oil prices after six months of war between the United States, Israel and Iran.

US President Donald Trump said on Truth Social on Tuesday that the Houthis "are behaving very badly ... and are purposefully trying to drive up the price of oil."

Speaking to reporters, he did not answer the question of whether he had decided to help the Saudis to take revenge on them, but said that it is "possible" to ask Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to intervene.

Last week, pro-government forces said they had retaken control of territory overlooking Bab al-Mandab after launching a major counteroffensive backed by Saudi airstrikes.

According to reports, hundreds of people have been killed in Yemen since August. The UN Human Rights Office says at least 54 civilians are among them, half of them children.

More than 216,000 people have also been displaced across the country, and suspected cholera cases have tripled in three weeks, from 217 to 647, according to the United Nations.
