Saudi-led coalition intercepts Houthi ballistic missiles aimed at Yanbu and Taif

The Saudi-led coalition intercepted two Houthi ballistic missiles targeting Yanbu and Taif on Saturday, with civil defense alerts briefly issued for Mecca and Jeddah. This continues the ongoing cross-border attacks, though the specific targeting of Yanbu, a key Red Sea port, may signal an attempt to disrupt energy infrastructure. The interception was confirmed by the coalition, but the exact impact or debris is unverified.

Houthi Missile Attacks on Saudi Arabia Escalate, Targeting Holy Cities

Houthi forces have significantly escalated missile and drone attacks against Saudi Arabia, with multiple confirmed interceptions of ballistic and cruise missiles targeting Riyadh, Khamis Mushait, and southern Saudi regions. Saudi Arabia claims Houthi missiles were aimed at Mecca and Medina, a claim the Houthis deny, stating their targets are military and oil facilities. This marks a clear erosion of the 2022 truce and a return to direct hostilities, with both sides conducting retaliatory strikes.
