Authorities are investigating a large fire near a facility belonging to Saudi Arabia's largest oil company south of Riyadh.

Authorities are investigating a major fire that broke out on Saturday near an oil facility belonging to Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil company, located in the southern part of Riyadh. A large column of smoke and fire was visible at the site amid an ongoing escalation of attacks involving Saudi Arabia and Houthi rebels from Yemen targeting the kingdom's cities and energy infrastructure.

Simultaneously, at least eight powerful explosions shook Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, on the same Saturday. These airstrikes were attributed to the military coalition led by Saudi Arabia, with warplanes continuing to patrol the skies over the Yemeni capital as the offensive unfolded.
