Yemen’s Houthis say they launched missile, drone attack on Riyadh

Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement said it launched a large missile and drone attack deep in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday that struck the defence ministry and a military base in Riyadh, but the kingdom said it blocked the assault.

The Saudi-led coalition that has been battling the group for five years said it intercepted a ballistic missile fired by the Houthis towards Riyadh.
