Riyadh — Margalla News: The Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted two drones and two ballistic missiles launched by Yemen's Houthis toward Saudi Arabia.

According to the coalition, the drones were heading toward the capital Riyadh, while the ballistic missiles were directed at the southwestern city of Khamis Mushait.

Reuters reported that Saudi civil defence had issued overnight alerts for Khamis Mushait and Abha, but not for Riyadh.

No casualties were reported in connection with the interceptions, and the Houthis did not immediately provide a separate detailed account of the specific launches.
