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 Yemen’s Ansar Allah group.

Ansar Allah, meanwhile, said it had targeted Riyadh airport and military bases in southern Saudi Arabia. The competing announcements came amid escalating hostilities between the two sides.

The coalition’s account did not specify which military sites in Yemen had been destroyed. The available information also provided no details of casualties or damage from the reported attacks.

Ansar Allah’s statement identified its intended targets but did not establish whether they had been hit. The coalition’s interception announcement concerned a missile directed toward the Saudi capital.

Air traffic disruption continued as the confrontation intensified, though the available information did not establish the extent of the disruption or link it to a specific strike.
