  "summary": "The Saudi-led coalition reported intercepting two ballistic missiles and two drones launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels towards Saudi Arabia early on Saturday. According to the coalition, the missiles were heading towards Khamis Mushait, while the drones were launched towards the capital, Riyadh.\n\nThe Houthi rebels, who control much of northern Yemen, have been carrying out attacks on Saudi Arabia since declaring a maritime blockade against the kingdom in July. These attacks have targeted Saudi cities, energy infrastructure, and shipping, adding to pressure on global oil supplies.\n\nThe Gulf Co-operation Council Secretary General, Jasem Al Budaiwi, strongly condemned the Houthi missile and drone attacks, calling the escalation a serious breach of the kingdom's sovereignty and a direct threat to the safety of civilians and regional stability.",
