Saudi-Led Coalition Says It Intercepted Missile Headed for Riyadh

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

Ansar Allah, meanwhile, announced that it had targeted Riyadh airport and military bases in southern Saudi Arabia. The summary of the announcements did not establish whether those targets were hit.

The coalition described its operations in Yemen as strikes on the group’s military positions. No specific locations or details of the damage were provided.

The competing announcements came amid continuing disruption to air traffic and escalating confrontations between the coalition and Ansar Allah. The extent of the flight disruption and its direct connection to the reported attacks remained unclear.
