Saudi-led coalition intercepts two Houthi missiles fired towards Riyadh
The coalition said air defenses shot down both missiles as witnesses reported loud explosions and damage to an Aramco tower in the capital’s financial district.
- On Nov 8, the Saudi-led coalition intercepted two ballistic missiles launched by the Iran-backed Houthis toward Riyadh, with authorities announcing the risk passed after air defenses destroyed the projectiles.
- The Houthis have frequently targeted Saudi airports, ports, and oil facilities; Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree claimed operations targeted Aramco oil facilities, Riyadh, and Saudi military positions.
- Loud explosions shook Riyadh as Saudi Civil Defense issued alerts shortly before the interception, and witnesses reported damage to an Aramco building in the King Abdullah Financial District.
- Houthi authorities alleged Saudi airstrikes killed 33 people in Sanaa with 39 others wounded, and the group alleged "aircraft targeted paramedics with two strikes," which Saudi Arabia has not commented on.
- Renewed fighting has become a front in the wider Middle East war triggered by attacks on Iran, while the United Nations reports more than 1,600 people have been killed and over 300,000 displaced since fighting resumed.
