Saudi-led coalition intercepts two Houthi missiles fired towards Riyadh

Coalition air defenses downed four missiles, and Saudi officials said falling debris caused minor damage to an Aramco building with no casualties.

  • On Sunday, the Saudi-led coalition intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles launched by the Houthi militia toward Riyadh, with loud explosions heard across the King Abdullah Financial District .
  • The renewed fighting shattered a 2022 UN-brokered truce that collapsed in July after years of relative calm, reigniting a conflict that began in 2015 between the Saudi-led coalition and Iran-aligned Houthis.
  • Multiple witnesses told AFP that the Aramco tower in KAFD sustained shattered glass and façade damage, contradicting official claims of total interception success.
  • The Energy Ministry reported limited damage to an administrative building with no casualties, while authorities announced the immediate risk of danger had passed.
  • U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran in February triggered the broader Middle East war now fueling escalating Houthi strikes on Saudi oil facilities, airports, and military sites.
