DID Press: Saudi Aramco’s headquarters in Dhahran sustained extensive damage in an attack on Tuesday evening, with a fire spreading across several floors of the building, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing three people with direct knowledge of the incident.
Despite the damage, operations at the complex have continued, according to sources cited by Reuters. Some employees have been instructed to work from home, while certain functions have reportedly been transferred to the company’s international offices.
Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Energy had earlier described the fire at the Aramco complex as limited and said there were no reported deaths or injuries. The company had not immediately responded to Reuters’ request for comment.
