RIYADH: The Saudi-led coalition supporting the legitimate government in Yemen said on Tuesday it had intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile and a cruise missile fired by the Houthi militia toward Riyadh, as well as a drone over the Eastern Province.

Coalition spokesman Maj Gen Turki Al-Maliki announced the interceptions in a brief statement on X without giving further details.

Saudi Arabia’s civil defense said on Tuesday that the danger had passed in Riyadh after an alert was issued through the national early warning platform for emergencies. It urged the public to keep following official instructions and to stay away from sites where shrapnel had fallen, not to touch any fragments, and to report them to the authorities.

On Monday, the coalition said it had intercepted a Houthi ballistic missile fired toward Saudi Arabia’s southern region. It also said it had destroyed two Houthi factories producing ballistic missile components and solid fuel, as well as an electronics workshop assembling the missiles’ guidance systems. The coalition said it would continue to weaken and dismantle the Houthis’ ballistic missile network.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Monday condemned Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia in a phone call with Crown Prince and Prime Minister Prince Mohammed bin Salman. — KUNA
