Saudi Air Defences Intercept 3 Cruise Missiles Headed for Riyadh on November 11: Coalition Says 2 Drones and 2 More Missiles Were Also Downed, Houthis Deny Targeting Mecca
Reuters reported on November 11 that Saudi air defences intercepted Houthi missiles and drones launched towards Riyadh, Mecca and other regions, as hostilities between the Iran-aligned group and the kingdom worsen.
The Saudi-led military coalition fighting the Yemeni group said it had intercepted and destroyed three cruise missiles headed to the Riyadh region, two drones aimed at Mecca and southern areas, and two missiles pointed towards the west.
Wednesday's interceptions marked the second consecutive day that Saudi air defences had intercepted Houthi missiles launched towards Riyadh, after they downed a ballistic missile and a cruise missile on Tuesday, the coalition said.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree later denied targeting Mecca with a drone, saying the group's operations target oil facilities and military bases.
The interception figures and targets above are as stated by the coalition, with the Houthi account set out alongside them.
