The Houthis claimed Saudi airstrikes killed at least 33 people and wounded 39 on Sunday, an account Reuters could not independently verify. The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted two ballistic and two cruise missiles launched toward Riyadh and southern regions. Middle East Eye and Al-Monitor reported that the King Abdullah Financial District was targeted, and Reuters reported that windows were blown out across several floors of Aramco's corporate office in the financial district. Saudi Arabia's energy ministry said the damage was caused by debris from an attempt to attack the building. Saudi Arabia's Center for International Communication said it was investigating the Houthi casualty report and had not commented on the 33-death claim. The coalition later said it had destroyed two ballistic missile launch platforms in Sanaa that it said were used in the attacks. Separately, Saudi civil defence lifted alerts in the Eastern Province, and Saudi and Qatari ministers discussed de-escalation.
