Yemen’s Houthi movement fired a ballistic missile targeting the Saudi capital of Riyadh on Sunday (November 15) morning, which was successfully intercepted by the Saudi-led coalition, officials said.
Major General Turki al-Maliki, spokesperson for the Saudi-led military coalition, announced the interception on social media platform X. The announcement came just minutes after Saudi Civil Defense issued a temporary security alert for Riyadh, urging residents to follow official instructions before the warning was subsequently lifted.
The missile launch follows a reported Houthi strike on Saturday (November 14) targeting Saudi military positions in Lahij's Kharaz region, Yemen. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed that the strike resulted in numerous casualties among Saudi troops and destroyed multiple military vehicles, though Saudi authorities have not independently confirmed those figures.
Fighting between the Saudi-led coalition and Houthi forces has seen a sharp escalation since July, marked by renewed full-scale hostilities and the coalition's launch of "Operation Dawn of Yemen" to reclaim territories. The Yemeni government reported that approximately 750 airstrikes were conducted against Houthi targets within a span of several hours.
