The Saudi-led coalition announced that it successfully intercepted two missiles targeting the capital Riyadh and another aimed at the southern region of the kingdom on Tuesday. Major General Turki al-Maliki, a spokesperson for the coalition, attributed the attacks to the Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen. Residents in Riyadh reported hearing multiple explosions, with text messages advising them to take shelter due to an "aerial threat." Subsequent reports indicated that the danger had passed. Meanwhile, Houthis claimed responsibility for air strikes on Sanaa, the Yemeni capital under their control, hitting a gas facility and state oil company building in separate incidents. The Saudi-led coalition did not confirm these attacks immediately. These incidents mark the latest escalation in the ongoing conflict between the Houthis and the internationally recognized Yemeni government, backed by Riyadh, with both parties engaging in air strikes and infrastructure attacks. Previously, on Monday, the East-West oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia's Medina region was attacked again, causing a limited fire that was extinguished, and no injuries or deaths were reported. The pipeline is crucial for Saudi oil exports due to Iranian restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz following the US-Israel conflict with Iran. The pipeline has been targeted several times as tensions escalate between the two countries, contributing to a global energy crisis.
