Saudi Arabia tracks drone, cruise missile threats as Riyadh airport suspension extended

Saudi air defenses intercepted a ballistic missile launched by Yemen’s Houthi militia toward Khamis Mushayt in the kingdom's southwest on Monday. Concurrently, the Saudi-led coalition reported that it is actively tracking additional drone and cruise missile threats directed at the country, leading to an extension of flight suspensions at Riyadh airport.

The incidents mark a continuation of hostilities between the Saudi-led coalition and Houthi forces. The coalition remains engaged in efforts to neutralize incoming aerial threats as the regional conflict persists.
