Coalition downs Houthi missile to Riyadh
The Yemeni Houthi militia launched a ballistic missile toward Riyadh, which was intercepted and destroyed by the Saudi air defenses. The Saudi-led coalition reported that the Houthis targeted the city, home to over 8 million people, in addition to attempts to strike other cities such as Bisha, Taif, Farasan, and Yanbu, all of which were thwarted. This comes as part of the Houthis' escalation of their attacks amid the ongoing Yemen conflict that began in 2014, where they have been clashing with government forces since the resumption of military operations in July. They continue to impose a blockade on Saudi Arabia and target ships in the Red Sea.
