A Saudi-led military coalition reports intercepting and destroying a Houthi ballistic missile aimed at Riyadh, marking the latest escalation in the conflict between the two sides. The claim comes amid ongoing tensions in the region, where missile exchanges have become a recurring threat to civilian and military targets. Authorities have not yet confirmed independent verification of the strike, raising questions about the accuracy of the coalition’s account. The development underscores the persistent risks posed by the Houthi insurgency and its impact on regional security.
