Saudi Air Defences Intercept Houthi Missiles and Drones Targeting Multiple Regions
Saudi air defences intercepted multiple Houthi-launched missiles and drones targeting Riyadh, Mecca, and other regions over two consecutive days, according to the Saudi-led coalition. The Houthis, controlling much of Yemen, have intensified attacks on Saudi infrastructure, including recent strikes on Riyadh's financial hub and King Khalid International Airport. The group denied targeting Mecca, emphasizing attacks on oil facilities and military bases. Saudi civil defence issued and later lifted alerts in several cities amid ongoing hostilities between the two sides.
