Saudi-led coalition says Houthis fired the missiles intercepted over Riyadh

The Saudi-led coalition says the ballistic missile and cruise missile intercepted near Riyadh on Tuesday 10 November were launched by the Houthis, Gulf News reports.

The coalition said Saudi air defences destroyed both missiles. It also reported a drone destroyed in the Eastern Province. Its announcements said there were no casualties or damage.

The coalition's account matches the earlier report in The National of one ballistic missile and one cruise missile heading for Riyadh. The National did not say who fired them. The attribution to the Houthis is the coalition's and has not been independently checked.

Riyadh schools began remote learning on Tuesday as a precaution, according to a message to parents seen by AFP. No end date was given.

Gulf News also reports that a senior Saudi official inspected a Saudi Aramco administrative building in Riyadh. The building sustained minor damage in an earlier Houthi attack.
