NewzOn Tuesday, the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen intercepted and destroyed multiple drones and missiles targeting locations across Saudi Arabia, including the capital city of Riyadh and the kingdom's southern region. Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Maliki, the coalition spokesman, confirmed the operations, which neutralized aerial threats launched by Yemen's Houthi movement.
The attacks represent a continuation of escalating cross-border strikes by the Houthis against Saudi infrastructure and population centers. The coalition's defensive actions successfully prevented the incoming projectiles from reaching their intended targets, though the exact figures regarding the total number of intercepted weapons varied slightly across initial reports from regional and international coverage.
