A Saudi-led coalition supporting Yemen’s internationally recognised government said Wednesday that it intercepted and destroyed three cruise missiles launched by Yemen’s Houthi group toward the Riyadh region of Saudi Arabia, Anadolu Agency reported.
Coalition spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki al-Maliki said in a statement that the missiles were intercepted before reaching their intended targets.
The incident comes amid continued military escalation between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia. The coalition has reported repeated interceptions of missiles and drones targeting different parts of the kingdom.
The Houthis have launched repeated missile and drone attacks against Saudi targets amid escalating hostilities in Yemen, while the Saudi-led coalition has carried out military operations against Houthi positions.
