Riyadh: Yemen’s Houthi rebels have reportedly launched a ballistic missile attack targeting Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, raising concerns over the security of the kingdom’s defence and energy infrastructure.
According to reports, one of the missiles was aimed at the Saudi Ministry of Defence, with loud explosions heard in several parts of the city. The Houthis also claimed to have targeted Ras Tanura, a major Saudi oil facility.
Saudi defence forces reportedly intercepted and destroyed the incoming missiles before they reached their intended targets.
