The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthis said it intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles fired by the Iran-aligned group towards Riyadh on Sunday, after loud booms were heard in the Saudi capital. Saudi Civil Defence had issued an alert in the Riyadh region shortly before the booms, a Reuters witness said. Authorities later announced that the risk of danger had passed. Later, the coalition said it intercepted and destroyed two cruise missiles in Riyadh and the southern region. The Houthis have targeted Saudi airports, ports and oil facilities with missiles and drones since hostilities resumed in July, while Saudi Arabia has carried out airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen. The latest incident comes a day after Yemen's Houthi-run health ministry said Saudi airstrikes killed at least 33 people near Sanaa. Saudi authorities said they were investigating. Saudi Arabia says it intercepted ballistic missile fired toward eastern region Saudi Arabia's air defence systems intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched toward the eastern region, a spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition announced on early Sunday. Brig. Gen. Turki al-Maliki said in a statement that Yemen's Houthi group targeted Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province with the missile. He confirmed that the projectile was intercepted and destroyed before reaching its intended target. Saudi Arabia's Civil Defence Directorate earlier reported that emergency warning systems had been activated in the cities of Dammam, Al-Ahsa and Abqaiq. Authorities subsequently announced that the threat had passed. Houthi-run health ministry says airstrikes kill 33 near Yemen capital At least 33 people were killed and 39 wounded in what the Houthi-run Saba news agency said were Saudi airstrikes on a village near Yemen's capital Sanaa on Saturday, in one of the deadliest reported attacks since fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-aligned group resumed in July. Reuters could not independently verify the account. Saudi Arabia's Center for International Communication said it was investigating the report. The renewed fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis has shattered a 2022 UN-brokered truce that largely halted attacks between the Saudi-led coalition and the group, which controls Sanaa. The Houthis have since launched missile and drone attacks on Saudi airports and oil facilities, while Riyadh has carried out airstrikes in Yemen in support of its Yemeni allies. The ministry said the strikes hit homes in the town of Bani Hushaysh, a Houthi stronghold east of Sanaa, and that most of those killed were women and children. Abdul-Aziz al-Dailami, director of Sehatuna Hospital in Sanaa, said many victims remained trapped under the rubble, including first responders. "The strikes keep coming. Just as rescuers arrive, another strike hits. We have even lost some of our own medical responders, who have been martyred," he told Reuters. "We received a number of wounded individuals in very critical condition, with injuries to the head, chest and legs, as well as fractures," al-Dailami added. Yemeni army says it carried out over 800 operations against Houthis Yemeni government forces said on Saturday that they carried out 875 operations against the Houthis in recent hours, claiming to have killed or incapacitated 130 fighters and commanders. Military spokesman Majed al-Nazili said in a statement on the X that the operations targeted Houthi positions, reinforcements and military equipment as part of Operation Dawn of Yemen. He said warplanes, drones, and artillery supported the operations, which destroyed or damaged 50 military vehicles and pieces of equipment, including missile launchers. In southwestern Taiz province, government troops and allied Popular Resistance fighters continued to repel Houthi attacks and target the group’s positions and movements. Other units attacked Houthi positions and reinforcements in Marib and Al-Jawf provinces. The army also reported continued operations by government-aligned forces on southern and western fronts. The military said its forces were taking precautions to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure. The Houthis did not immediately comment on the Yemeni military’s statement.
