Houthi missiles, drone intercepted as coalition says it destroyed militia’s ballistic missile factories

RIYADH: The Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen on Tuesday said air defenses thwarted a series of Houthi drone and missile attacks targeting the Kingdom.

Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Maliki, the coalition’s spokesman, said that a drone was intercepted and destroyed in the Eastern Region, while two missiles targeting the Saudi capital Riyadh were also intercepted early Tuesday morning.

A Houthi ballistic missile launched towards the southern region was also intercepted and destroyed, Al-Maliki posted on his X account.

Saudi civil defense authorities also raised warnings of potential danger in Riyadh City, Abha City and Khamis Mushait Governorate but lifted them shortly afterwards.
