Saudi says intercepted Houthi ballistic missile targeting Riyadh

Saudi forces on Tuesday intercepted a ballistic missile aimed at the kingdom's capital, said a spokesman for the Riyadh-led coalition backing Yemen's government, after authorities issued a danger warning and AFP journalists reported hearing blasts.

The kingdom "intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by the terrorist Houthi militia towards Riyadh", Turki Al-Malki said in a post on X.
