Saudi-led Coalition Intercepts Houthi Missiles and Drones Targeting Riyadh and Eastern Province
Saudi-led coalition forces intercepted two ballistic missiles launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels targeting Riyadh, along with three drones aimed at the Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia's oil-rich region. The Houthis have intensified attacks on Saudi infrastructure, including a recent strike damaging a Saudi Aramco administrative building in Riyadh. In response, Saudi Arabia has increased airstrikes on Houthi positions in Yemen. The Eastern Province, home to most of Saudi Arabia's oil and gas reserves, has faced multiple assaults amid ongoing regional tensions.
