Saudi Arabia’s Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen said on Nov. 11 it brought down three cruise missiles aimed toward the Riyadh region, a day after reporting a ballistic missile interception headed for the capital.
The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) carried the announcement and attributed it to coalition spokesperson Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Maliki. Al-Maliki said Yemen’s Houthi group launched the missiles. The statement did not say when or where the interceptions took place, and it gave no figures for casualties or damage.
In a separate statement carried by SPA on Nov. 10, the coalition said air defenses had intercepted a ballistic missile launched toward Riyadh. That earlier announcement concerned a ballistic missile aimed at the capital; the Nov. 11 statement named three cruise missiles headed toward the Riyadh region.
Anadolu reported that no immediate Houthi comment was available when it published its account. EconoTimes previously covered a separate coalition report of a cruise missile aimed at the Riyadh region.
