Saudi-Led Coalition Says It Intercepted Missile Heading Toward Riyadh

The Saudi-led coalition announced that it had intercepted a ballistic missile heading toward Riyadh and destroyed military sites belonging to the Ansar Allah group in Yemen.

Ansar Allah, meanwhile, said it had targeted Riyadh’s airport and military bases in southern Saudi Arabia. The group’s announcement did not establish whether those targets had been hit.

The coalition’s statement described both the interception over Saudi territory and action against the group’s military positions in Yemen, as confrontations between the two sides intensified.

The announcements came amid continuing disruption to air traffic. The information provided did not specify the extent of that disruption or identify the flights affected.
