Saudis intercept Houthi missiles over Riyadh a day after 33 killed by their bombing of Yemen
SAUDI ARABIA says it intercepted two ballistic missiles and two cruise missiles fired by Yemen’s Houthi movement yesterday. Damage to an Aramco (Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil company) building in Riyadh was apparently from debris from one of the shot-down missiles.The strikes follow reports that the Saudi-led coalition fighting Ansar Allah, as the Houthis are formally termed, bombed the town of al-Shariyah east of the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Saturday, killing 33 and injuring 39. Footage on Yemeni television showed the bodies of dead children being removed from rubble.
Houthi officials said a Saudi airstrike near Sanaa, Yemen’s capital, killed people, with reports published in early November giving different tolls. Hindustan Times and DW reported 22 deaths, while The Globe and Mail, Global News and dailyliberal.com.au reported at least 25; RTÉ and The Independent cited 33, and WRAL.com reported at least 44. The Jerusalem Post said Reuters could not independently verify the account and that Saudi Arabia’s Center for International Communication was investigating, while Hindustan Times reported that Saudi Arabia had not commented.
