Houthis attack Saudi Aramco headquarters with missiles and drones
Yemen's Houthi militia attacked Saudi Aramco's eastern headquarters with drones and missiles. Saudi's energy ministry confirmed this.
Houthi rebels struck the headquarters of Saudi oil giant Aramco in the Dammam area of eastern Saudi Arabia. The attack caused a limited fire and no injuries.
Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the movement used drones, missiles, and cruise missiles. The movement hit Aramco and other targets.
The Saudi-led military coalition said it stopped and destroyed a missile launched by the militia. The Houthis had threatened to hit Aramco if Saudi Arabia attacked Sanaa, which they control.

Why it mattersThe attack shows the Houthis can hit major infrastructure. This threatens global oil supplies. Saudi Arabia is one of the world's biggest producers.
AustraliaNo immediate Australian impact, but sustained attacks on Middle East oil facilities could affect global energy prices and Australia's oil imports.
