Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted three missiles aimed at Riyadh and the south

The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile and a cruise missile over Riyadh on Tuesday, and a third ballistic missile over the kingdom’s south. Spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki al-Maliki blamed Yemen’s Houthis; no injuries were reported and the Houthis made no immediate comment.

The interceptions came a day after another attack on the East-West pipeline in the Medina region, which a Saudi Energy Ministry official told the state news agency SPA caused a limited fire that was put out without affecting pipeline operations.
