Coalition says ballistic missile fired by Houthis toward Riyadh intercepted

Forces from the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile fired by Houthi militants toward the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh, on Monday. The announcement was confirmed by Major General Turki Al-Malki, the official spokesman for the coalition.

The incident marks a continuation of regional tensions involving the Houthi movement and the Saudi-led coalition. The coalition characterized the launch as an act by a terrorist militia targeting a major urban center.
