Saudi Arabia intercepts two ballistic missiles fired by Houthis toward Riyadh

Breaking

The Saudi-led coalition announced late Sunday that it had intercepted two ballistic missiles fired by Houthi forces in Yemen toward the capital Riyadh. The interception came after Saudi civil defence issued a public alert warning of potential danger in the city.

This incident represents continued missile attacks by Iranian-backed Houthi forces against Saudi Arabia, escalating regional tensions in the Middle East. The successful interception demonstrates the coalition’s air defence capabilities, though such attacks have been a recurring security concern for the kingdom.

The attack underscores ongoing regional instability and the persistent threat posed by Houthi militant operations across the Arabian Peninsula.
