The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthis said Sunday it intercepted ballistic and cruise missiles fired toward Riyadh, the Eastern Province and southern Saudi Arabia^1,2,3,4.

Coalition spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki al-Maliki said two ballistic missiles launched toward Riyadh were destroyed^1,2,3. He separately said two cruise missiles were intercepted over the Riyadh and southern regions^2,3,4. Al Jazeera and Arab News also reported an earlier interception of a ballistic missile toward the Eastern Province^1,4.

Saudi Civil Defence issued then lifted alerts in the Riyadh region, and Arab News said warnings also covered Najran, Buqayq, Al-Ahsa and Dammam^3,4. The National, citing a Reuters witness, said loud booms were heard in the capital after an alert³.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said Saturday the group had carried out six operations with ballistic and cruise missiles and drones, naming King Khalid International Airport, Aramco facilities in Riyadh and Khurais, a pumping station in Dawadmi, and Saudi positions in Najran and in Yemen's Al-Jawf and Ma'rib provinces^1,3. Independent confirmation of those claimed hits was not in the reports^1,3.

The Houthi-run Health Ministry spokesman, Anees al-Asbahi, said Saturday that 33 people, including eight women and 13 children, were killed and at least 39 wounded in coalition air attacks on the village of al-Shariyah in Bani Hushaish district east of Sanaa¹. Al Jazeera said it could not independently verify the reports and that the coalition had not immediately commented¹. The National said Saudi authorities were investigating the reported strikes³.

Fighting has intensified after a 2022 ceasefire collapsed in July, with Yemeni government forces launching an operation last month to retake Houthi-held territory including Sanaa^1,3. The United Nations, according to Al Jazeera, has recorded more than 1,600 people killed and almost 300,000 displaced since then¹.

Arab News said the coalition has reported at least 15 missiles and drones intercepted across Saudi Arabia this month, and that earlier Houthi strikes disrupted airports including King Khalid International in Riyadh⁴.
