Saudi Coalition Intercepts Houthi Missiles and Drones
The Saudi-led coalition destroyed 10 ballistic missiles and several drones launched by Houthi forces targeting multiple cities across Saudi Arabia.
The Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen intercepted and destroyed 10 ballistic missiles launched by Houthi forces toward southern Saudi Arabia on Sunday. Coalition spokesperson Turki al-Maliki confirmed the military also intercepted a cruise missile targeting Khamis Mushait, along with a ballistic missile and two drones aimed at Riyadh.
These attacks coincided with the reopening of Terminals 1 and 2 at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which had previously been struck in an attack that killed 13 people. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree warned passengers and airlines against using the facility, stating the airport remains a "military target."
Saudi Civil Defence reported that missile debris fell near Jeddah, Taif, and Rabigh following the interception of projectiles aimed at Mecca and Medina. While the coalition tracked these threats toward the holy sites, Houthi representatives denied targeting them.
