India, Nov. 8 -- A building belonging to Saudi state-owned oil giant Aramco in Riyadh sustained minor damage after falling shrapnel struck it during an attack from Yemen on Sunday morning, amid escalating hostilities between the two countries, according to Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Energy.

AFP reported that Yemen's Armed Forces launched retaliatory strikes against Saudi Arabia following intensive Saudi attacks on Yemen a day earlier. Multiple eyewitnesses told the news agency that Riyadh's King Abdullah Financial District was targeted, with one saying the intended target was "definitely the Saudi Aramco tower" in the area.

Two other eyewitnesses also reported damage to the building belonging to the Saudi state-owned energy company.
