The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted three ballistic missiles launched by Yemen's Houthi group, according to Al Jazeera.

A military spokesman for the Houthis said the group had fired one ballistic missile towards an airport in Riyadh, the Saudi capital.

The two accounts differ on the number of missiles involved. The available statements do not provide further details on the interception or the reported target.

The episode underscores the continuing security tensions between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi movement in Yemen, a conflict with wider implications for regional stability and international diplomatic engagement.
