Houthis strike Aramco tower in Riyadh
A drone-and-missile attack launched by Houthi forces damaged the iconic Saudi Aramco tower in the financial district of Saudi Arabia’s capital. Houthi fighters took aim at the financial district of Saudi Arabia’s capital on Sunday — one of the highest-profile areas to be targeted in the war. A drone-and-missile attack damaged the iconic Saudi Aramco tower, located in an area that, as home to international companies and luxury housing, is a symbol of the kingdom’s modernization. Near-daily attacks in Riyadh have upended life and also forced the cancellation of a high-profile economic conference, putting pressure on Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as he tries to keep on track a multi-trillion-dollar effort to position the kingdom as a destination for global capital. Saudi Arabia faces “ only bad options as it tries to find a way out of the conflict,” The Wall Street Journal wrote.
