Saudi Arabia said it intercepted a ballistic missile fired toward its capital, Riyadh, on a recent day of escalating tensions in the region.
The missile was reportedly aimed at the city’s airport, according to statements from the Houthi movement in Yemen, which claims responsibility for the launch.
This incident marks the third consecutive day of Houthi‑launched attacks on Saudi targets, a pattern that has heightened security concerns across the kingdom.
Saudi officials confirmed the interception, but the source material does not indicate any damage or casualties resulting from the missile strike.
