A Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted a missile launched toward Khamis Mushait, as Yemen's Houthi movement claimed it had carried out several military operations inside Saudi Arabia.
The Houthi group, known formally as Ansar Allah, said it had conducted three operations targeting multiple sites, including King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, an Aramco refinery in Rabigh, Abha International Airport, and a military base in Khamis Mushait.
The Houthis described the operations as part of an effort to assert and maintain control over gains made during the broader regional conflict, though the claims could not be independently verified.
The coalition's interception of the missile aimed at Khamis Mushait suggests continued cross-border exchanges between Houthi forces and the Saudi-led coalition, a pattern that has persisted intermittently throughout the conflict in Yemen.
Neither side's account of the incident included details on casualties or material damage resulting from the reported strikes and interceptions.
