Saudi coalition intercepts Houthi missiles and drones

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Nov, 03:43 · Archive

Saudi Arabia says it has intercepted two Houthi ballistic missiles and three drones launched towards Riyadh and the Eastern Province.

The Saudi-led coalition says it has intercepted two Houthi ballistic missiles launched towards the Saudi capital Riyadh and three drones in the kingdom's oil-rich Eastern Province. The Houthis, who control most of the populous parts of Yemen, have intensified attacks on the Saudi capital in recent days.

A Houthi attack last week damaged an administrative building of the state oil company Saudi Aramco in Riyadh's financial hub. The Eastern Province, the economic powerhouse of Saudi Arabia, has been subject to multiple attacks by Houthis in recent weeks. The region contains the majority of the kingdom's oil and gas reserves and is home to Aramco's headquarters, which suffered extensive damage in an attack in October.

Bahrain's interior ministry issued an alert of a potential threat on social media on Sunday, urging citizens and residents to remain calm and proceed to the nearest safe location. The Houthis have stepped up strikes on Saudi airports, ports and oil facilities, while Saudi Arabia has ramped up airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen in response.
