Saudi-led coalition says it intercepts two Houthi missiles fired towards Riyadh

Saudi officials said falling debris from intercepted missiles caused limited damage at an Aramco building, with no injuries reported.

  • On Tuesday, the Saudi-led coalition intercepted three missiles fired by Iran-backed Houthis toward Riyadh and the country's southern region. Major-General Turki al-Maliki confirmed the destruction of a ballistic and cruise missile over the capital.
  • These strikes intensify the ongoing conflict in Yemen between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed government, where the coalition supports territory recovery with airstrikes while insurgents repeatedly target Saudi oil infrastructure.
  • Residents in Riyadh reported multiple explosions and received alerts regarding an "aerial threat," while Saudi officials confirmed falling debris from an "attempted attack" caused minor damage to the Aramco Tower with no injuries or deaths.
  • A separate attack on Monday struck the East-West oil pipeline in the Medina region; the Saudi Energy Ministry stated the strike caused a "limited fire" that was extinguished, with pipeline operations unaffected.
  • The pipeline remains vital for Saudi oil exports amid restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz, as attacks recur while the war involving Iran and the US-Israel coalition fuels a global energy crisis.
