Saudi-led coalition forces said they shot down a Houthi ballistic missile targeting Riyadh, according to Al Jazeera English. The interception marked the latest in a series of attacks by the Iran-aligned Houthi movement against Saudi Arabia.
The Houthis have repeatedly launched missiles and drones at Saudi cities in recent years, drawing responses from the Saudi-led military coalition that has intervened in Yemen's civil war since 2015.
