A Saudi-led coalition announced that its forces intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles aimed at the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on Thursday, along with one missile targeting the city of Khamis Mushait. The Saudi Civil Defense stated that fragments from the intercepted missiles caused material damage to a kindergarten and a medical clinic in Riyadh. Meanwhile, a Houthi military spokesman claimed that the group launched a ballistic missile at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, successfully hitting its target, causing damage and disrupting air traffic. Witnesses told The Associated Press that several explosions were heard in Riyadh on Thursday, including one at the airport that led to flight suspensions.
