Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted three Houthi cruise missiles aimed at Riyadh

Saudi air defences intercepted and destroyed three cruise missiles launched by the Houthis towards the Riyadh region on Wednesday 11 November, according to the Saudi-led coalition. It is the second day running that the coalition has reported missiles fired at the Saudi capital.

Coalition spokesperson Maj Gen Turki Al-Maliki announced the interceptions on X. No casualties or damage were reported. Voice of Emirates reports that the coalition also destroyed a hostile drone in the Eastern Province. Al Jazeera also carries the coalition's claim of a further drone destroyed.

On Tuesday the coalition said a ballistic missile and a cruise missile were intercepted near Riyadh. As then, the attribution of Wednesday's launch to the Houthis is the coalition's and has not been independently checked.

Siasat notes that the Houthis claimed on Tuesday 10 November to have carried out four operations against Saudi targets, including an Aramco facility and King Khalid International Airport. That claim has not been verified. The coalition reported no casualties or damage from Tuesday's interceptions.
