Houthi forces said they targeted Saudi Aramco facilities in Yemen, and Saudi officials confirmed that a strike hit a building in the company's operations area. One account put the attack at Aramco's headquarters in Dhahran on Tuesday night, saying a ballistic missile damaged the top three floors of an office tower and set it on fire.
A separate account instead placed the strike at Aramco's headquarters in Riyadh, attributing it to Houthi forces. The Dhahran account tied the attack to an escalating conflict between the Iran-allied Houthis and a Saudi-led coalition.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Western allies failed to warn Kyiv of a Russian ballistic missile attack on the capital on Tuesday. Ukraine separately accused the United States of aiding Russia by failing to warn of missile strikes and by slowing the Starlink system Ukrainian forces use for battlefield communications.
Ukraine also accused Russia of violating a purported energy ceasefire, citing unannounced strikes on Kyiv. The ceasefire followed an announcement by President Donald Trump on Sunday. The United States has since pressed Ukraine to halt its strikes on Russian refineries.
