The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthi rebels in Yemen announced on Tuesday that it had intercepted and destroyed two missiles launched by the Houthis toward Riyadh. This incident occurs amid escalating hostilities between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-aligned group over recent weeks. The coalition stated that its air defenses neutralized one ballistic missile and one cruise missile aimed at the Saudi capital. Earlier, Saudi Civil Defense had issued an early warning for Riyadh before the coalition confirmed the interception, subsequently reporting that the threat to the capital had passed. In a separate announcement, the coalition reported intercepting and destroying a ballistic missile fired by the Houthis toward Saudi Arabia's southern region. Saudi Civil Defense had previously issued alerts for the cities of Abha and Khamis Mushait in the southwest before later declaring the danger had subsided. Southern Saudi Arabia, bordering Yemen, has frequently been targeted by Houthi missile and drone attacks on military sites and energy infrastructure. Fighting between the Houthi group and the coalition supporting Yemen's internationally recognized government intensified in September following Houthi advances toward the Bab el-Mandeb strait, a strategic waterway at the Red Sea's southern entrance. The Houthis have increased their attacks on Saudi airports, ports, and oil facilities amidst a broader conflict involving the United States and Israel against Iran, while Saudi Arabia has conducted airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen.
