Houthi missiles on Riyadh and other cities intercepted, Saudi coalition says The Saudi-led coalition forces confirmed that air defences intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile fired by Houthi terrorists toward Riyadh at dawn on Saturday, according to a statement from coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki. The coalition also reported that the Houthis attempted to target civilians and civilian infrastructure in Bisha, Taif, Farasan, and Yanbu, but their attacks were thwarted by the Saudi Arabia's air defences.

Al-Maliki accused the Houthis of escalating such attempts and affirmed the coalition's right to take appropriate measures against the group under international humanitarian law.
