Aramco has instructed its employees to evacuate its main headquarters in Dhahran and work remotely, marking an unprecedented move since the onset of the Iranian conflict. This directive follows a significant attack by the Houthi group from Yemen, which caused extensive fire damage across multiple floors of the company's building. The headquarters houses a critical operations center overseeing onshore and offshore oil platforms, refineries, export terminals, and thousands of kilometers of pipeline networks. In a separate incident, two individuals were killed after a drone attempting to target a facility at the Shaybah oil field was intercepted by Saudi air defenses. Saudi Arabia responded to these attacks with a series of strikes on missile launch sites, reaffirming its commitment to national protection and reporting the interception of numerous ballistic missiles launched by the group.
