Saudi Defense Forces Repel Houthi Missile Attack Targeting Riyadh
(MENAFN) Saudi air defense systems intercepted and destroyed a cruise missile heading toward the Riyadh region, according to an announcement issued Saturday by the Saudi-led coalition operating in Yemen.
Coalition spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki al-Maliki confirmed the incident in a statement posted on X, saying: "Air defenses intercepted and destroyed a cruise missile launched by the terrorist Houthi militia toward the Riyadh region,"
The interception comes as tensions between the Saudi-led coalition and Yemen's Houthi movement continue to intensify, raising concerns over further military confrontations.
Saudi Arabia has headed a military alliance backing Yemen's internationally recognized government since 2015. The intervention began after the Houthis captured the capital, Sanaa, along with several other areas in 2014.
