Coalition intercepts missile targeting Riyadh
The coalition supporting legitimacy in Yemen, led by Saudi Arabia, has resumed targeting the Houthi group, announcing the interception and destruction of a ballistic missile fired by the Houthis toward Riyadh. This comes amidst an escalation in attacks on other Saudi regions such as Khamis Mushait, Abha, Jazan, and Taif. The attack did not result in any human casualties or material damage, but the coalition confirmed that the Houthis continue deliberately attempting to target civilians and civilian objects. They are using rockets and drones in attacks on sensitive targets within Saudi Arabia. This escalation follows repeated Houthi assaults on Saudi targets since the start of the war in 2015, including operations on strategic sites like Aramco, claiming that these attacks are retaliations against coalition airstrikes on Sanaa, and targeting ports and oil facilities. Saudi Arabia emphasized that these attacks aim to undermine the kingdom’s security and stated that it will take appropriate measures in accordance with international law to deter the ongoing Houthi escalation.
