A major attack hit Saudi Arabia today. Missiles launched by Houthi rebels in Yemen reached the capital city, Riyadh. One of the missiles hit a building owned by the oil company Saudi Aramco.
Pictures show the damage to the tall tower. People in the city reported seeing debris from the missiles falling onto the streets after Saudi defense systems tried to stop them in the sky.
This attack has made things very tense in the area. There are also reports coming in about a fire on a tanker ship in the nearby Persian Gulf, adding to the general sense of danger.
The Houthis are a group in Yemen that have been fighting a long war against Saudi Arabia. They often use missiles and drones to attack sites inside the country. Saudi officials say they are working to secure the area and protect people from further strikes.
For now, the situation in Riyadh is being watched very closely by countries all over the world as everyone tries to figure out what will happen next.
