[Saudi Arabia’s](en.wikipedia.org) air defenses intercepted and destroyed two drones and two ballistic missiles launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels early Saturday, according to the Saudi-led coalition.
Coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki said the drones targeted the Riyadh region, while the missiles were aimed at Khamis Mushait in southwestern Saudi Arabia. He stated that air defenses tracked and destroyed the projectiles before they reached their targets, with no immediate reports of casualties or damage .
The attacks follow a July declaration by the Houthis of a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia, which has since led to escalating cross-border strikes. The group has intensified its assaults on Saudi cities and shipping, prompting the coalition to maintain heightened surveillance of missile and drone threats .
A Houthi political official, Hezam al-Asad, described the latest operation as a “small rehearsal” ahead of a broader escalation, according to a social media post .
The Gulf Cooperation Council condemned the attacks as a “grave escalation and threat to regional security,” urging international action .
