Coalition says it intercepted two ballistic missiles as Houthis claim strike on Defense Ministry in Riyadh

The Arab Coalition announced that air defenses intercepted two ballistic missiles launched by the Houthi group toward the Saudi capital, Riyadh. About two hours later, the Houthis said in a statement that they had targeted the Saudi Ministry of Defense in Riyadh with a ballistic missile and asserted a "direct hit," without details on damage or any Saudi comment.

📍 Where things stand: The two accounts remain at odds: the Coalition says the missiles were intercepted while the Houthis claim a hit on the Ministry of Defense, and no Saudi comment or denial had been issued as of publication.
