A Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted ballistic missiles fired by Yemen's Houthi movement toward the city of Khamis Mushait, according to TASS.
The interception followed a claim by Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree that the group had struck Riyadh's international airport with a ballistic missile. The competing claims could not be independently verified at the time of reporting.
The exchange adds to a recent escalation in missile activity attributed to the Houthis against targets in Saudi Arabia, amid the broader regional conflict involving the Yemeni group.
