Reuters: Saudi says it intercepts Houthi missiles in Riyadh and southern cities
RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia’s air defence forces intercepted at least three ballistic missiles fired at Saudi cities by Yemen’s Houthis, who claimed to have targeted the defence ministry in Riyadh and a Saudi Aramco distribution facility in Najran on Wednesday.
Three rockets were intercepted in the capital and the southern cities of Jizan and Najran, according to state media and the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen.
There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
