Key facilities linked to Saudi Arabia's state-controlled Aramco came under renewed attack over the weekend, including an administrative building in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
A building belonging to Aramco in the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD), known as Aramco Tower, was "subjected to an attempted attack", on 8 November, said Saudi Arabia's state news agency SPA, citing a source at the Saudi energy ministry.
The incident "resulted in falling shrapnel that caused minor damage to the building", the energy ministry source said. No injuries or fatalities were reported, they said.
But multiple videos circulating on social media show visible damage to several floors around halfway up the building. Windows on more than one floor appear to have been blown out.
The Saudi authorities did not specify who launched the attack. But the Yemen-based Houthi rebels, who have been locked in a renewed conflict with Saudi Arabia, said on 8 November that they had carried out attacks using ballistic and cruise missiles and drones on KAFD, among other areas in Riyadh and other Saudi cities.
This is the second such attack by the Houthis on an administrative building owned by Aramco. In mid-October, the group claimed an attack on an administrative building at the Aramco headquarters in Dhahran, leading to a fire.
Aramco employees based in Dhahran were temporarily asked to work from home, sources told Argus at the time.
Among other claimed targets in this weekend's attacks were the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which has come under repeated attack in recent weeks, Aramco oil storage tanks in Riyadh and Aramco facilities in Abqaiq in the eastern province.
The Houthi spokesman claimed these latest strikes on King Khalid airport, on KAFD and the storage tanks in Riyadh "were direct and precise... and caused significant damage". The strike on Aramco in Abqaiq was "direct and caused fires at the targeted sites", he said.
Neither the Saudi authorities, nor Aramco, have confirmed any of the other claimed attacks.
