Saudi-led coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki said coalition forces intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by the Houthi militia toward Riyadh. Residents reported hearing explosions in the Saudi capital.
Why it matters
The interception indicates continued missile threats to Riyadh and its airport area, which can disrupt aviation and require further air-defence operations.
