Four people were injured and 15 homes were damaged in Riyadh after debris fell from two intercepted Houthi missiles, Saudi authorities said Wednesday. The civil defence agency identified the injured as two women, a man and a child.
Saudi Arabia’s civil aviation authority said the latest attack on Riyadh airport also caused injuries, while the BBC reported that it was the second Houthi strike on the airport in two days. Saudi authorities sent residents an alert warning of a hostile aerial threat after a powerful explosion was heard in the capital.
The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted and destroyed three cruise missiles and two drones on Tuesday over Riyadh and southern Saudi Arabia. It separately reported intercepting a cruise missile in Al-Kharj and two ballistic missiles targeting a southern city.
In Dhahran, an attack caused a limited fire at the headquarters complex of state oil company Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s Energy Ministry said. The ministry reported no casualties. A company source told Reuters that a ballistic missile struck the upper floors of an office building.
The Saudi-led coalition also struck a fuel facility in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, after saying the Houthis used the site to store missiles and drones. Houthi-run broadcaster Al Masirah reported the strike, while the Yemeni Oil Company said the storage facilities were empty and that oil reserves and supplies were unaffected.
