On Sunday, falling debris struck an administrative building belonging to Saudi Aramco in Riyadh following an attempted attack, causing limited damage but no injuries or fatalities, the Kingdom's Energy Ministry said.

The incident followed the interception of two missiles fired by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis towards Riyadh, according to the Saudi-led coalition.

Earlier in the day, Saudi Civil Defence also issued an early-warning alert over a potential threat in the southern region, later confirming that the danger had passed.

The Saudi-led coalition that has been fighting the Houthis subsequently said it had intercepted and destroyed two cruise missiles in Riyadh and the Kingdom's southern region.
