A Saudi-led coalition spokesperson announced that they intercepted a ballistic missile launched by the Iran-backed Houthi militia targeting Riyadh. Residents in the Saudi capital reported hearing explosions, with some debris from intercepted missiles causing injuries and property damage. The attacks are part of ongoing hostilities between the Houthis and the Saudi coalition, which have recently intensified. The Saudi Ministry of Energy reported a fire at an Aramco facility in the Eastern Province, though no injuries occurred. In retaliation, the coalition struck Houthi targets in Yemen, including facilities in Sanaa, Dhamar, and Saada, which were allegedly used to support the Houthi war effort. This escalation highlights the ongoing conflict’s impact on regional stability and the threat to vital infrastructure in Saudi Arabia.
