Business Recorder reported that authorities in the capital said they intercepted and destroyed two Houthi ballistic missiles launched toward the city, and AFP correspondents heard explosions earlier in the day.\n\nThe National Business reported that the Saudi-led coalition destroyed two ballistic missile launchers in Sanaa, including one used to fire a missile toward Riyadh. The outlet also noted that the Houthis later claimed they had attacked Riyadh airport and Saudi Arabia’s East-West crude oil pumping stations, though the kingdom provided no immediate confirmation of those specific claims.",
