🔶 A Saudi-led coalition intercepted two Houthi ballistic missiles towards Riyadh.
The Saudi-led military coalition announced on Sunday that it had "intercepted and destroyed" two ballistic missiles launched by the Houthis at Riyadh, the capital, as well as three drones in the eastern province of that country.
The Saudi Civil Defense Organization issued a danger warning in Riyadh a few hours ago.
In recent days, the Houthis have escalated their attacks on the Saudi capital as well as on Saudi airports, ports and oil facilities. Last week, an office building belonging to the Saudi state oil company, Aramco, was hit by a Houthi missile in Riyadh's financial district and damaged.
The eastern province of Saudi Arabia is considered the economic center of this country and has been the target of Houthi attacks several times in the past week. Most of the Saudi oil and gas reserves are located in this province, and Aramco's headquarters are also located there. According to Saudi authorities, 26 people have been killed in attacks by the Islamic Republic-backed Houthi militias against the country since September. 23 victims died in attacks on airports.
