RIYADH, Saudi Arabia. – The Saudi-led coalition said early Tuesday that air defenses intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile and a cruise missile launched by the Houthis toward Riyadh.
The coalition’s official spokesperson reported both interceptions in a statement on X posted at 4:02 a.m. Saudi time on November 10, corresponding to 8:02 p.m. Eastern on Monday.
The brief statement named Riyadh as the direction of the launches but did not identify a specific intended target. It provided no casualty or damage information.
The announcement concerns two missiles headed toward the Saudi capital. It is separate from the coalition’s later report that it intercepted a drone in the Eastern Region.
It is also separate from the earlier Riyadh incident involving damage to an Aramco office building, previously covered by JBizNews. The new statement does not link these missile interceptions to that damage.
