Riyadh says it intercepted two Houthi missiles, one heading for the capital

The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen says it intercepted two Houthi missiles fired towards Riyadh, as well as a ballistic missile targeting the south of the kingdom and a drone over the eastern province. These launches are part of an escalation since the Houthis advanced towards the Bab el-Mandeb strait, according to the coalition and the Saba channel, which is close to the rebels.
