Saudi Arabia intercepts Houthi missile and drone attacks
Saudi Arabia has been subjected to ballistic missile and drone attacks launched by the Yemenite Houthis, who are allied with Iran, through the coalition led by Saudi Arabia in Yemen. The coalition intercepted two missiles headed towards Khamis Mushait, and two drones aimed at Riyadh, the capital. This was accompanied by alerts from the Saudi Civil Defense in cities like Khamis Mushait and Abha, though no alerts were issued in Riyadh itself. The Houthis have been continuously conducting attacks since the announcement of a maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia in July, targeting cities and infrastructure, which has increased pressure on global oil supplies, especially as the Strait of Hormuz remains nearly closed. These attacks occur amid military cooperation between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, aimed at collective deterrence, with assurances of unifying defense efforts against Yemeni threats.
