BusinessFlames and Smoke Erupt at Aramco Facility Near Riyadh
On October 3, 2026, flames and smoke were reported at a Saudi Aramco facility south of Riyadh. The cause remains unclear amid recent attacks by the Houthi group targeting Saudi sites, including Aramco facilities in Yanbu and Najran. Aramco, majority-owned by Saudi Arabia, is a key player in the kingdom's economy and global oil markets. The conflict is linked to the Yemen war where Riyadh supports the recognized government.
