Saudi Arabia, which backs Yemen’s internationally recognised government against the Houthis, has faced a surge in attacks since fighting resumed in July.
Saudi Arabia said it intercepted Houthi missiles targeting Riyadh and other areas, according to Al Jazeera and Anadolu Agency. Al Jazeera reported that the Energy Ministry said falling shrapnel damaged a building in the capital. The Korea Herald reported damage to an Aramco building in Riyadh’s financial district, while Hindustan Times called the damage minor. The reports differ on whether missiles were intercepted or hit their target, and do not give a consistent account of the damage.
