Saudi-led coalition says it downed two Houthi missiles aimed at Riyadh and three drones

The Saudi-led coalition says its air defences destroyed two ballistic missiles launched by the Houthis towards Riyadh early on Sunday 15 November, Reuters reports via Khaleej Times.

Coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki made the statement on X. The coalition also said it intercepted three drones over Saudi Arabia's oil-rich Eastern Province.

Middle East Eye reports the third drone was brought down alongside the two missiles.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree claimed on X that the group shot down a Saudi armed reconnaissance aircraft over al-Jawf. The claim has not been independently verified, and no Saudi response to it has been reported.

No damage or casualties have been reported.

On Saturday the coalition said it intercepted two Houthi drones over the Riyadh area and southern Saudi Arabia. Neither the coalition's accounts nor the Houthi claim have been independently checked.
