Reuters sources confirm that Saudi Aramco's headquarters in Dhahran suffered extensive damage from a recent attack, prompting the company to move some operations to global offices and instruct employees to work from home. This escalation in physical infrastructure damage raises concerns about the resilience of Saudi oil production capabilities and could tighten global supply if disruptions spread to upstream assets. The incident reinforces the prevailing narrative of escalating Middle East tensions, with additional reports of Houthi efforts to acquire advanced ballistic missiles using Chinese components.
