Summary
Three ballistic missiles aimed at Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Region and four drones headed for the Southern Region were intercepted and destroyed, the Saudi-led coalition said.
Saudi Civil Defense issued early warning alerts for the Eastern Region and Kharj governorate before later declaring the threat over in both areas.
The attack comes as Saudi Arabia has intensified strikes on the Houthis after the group seized strategic Red Sea coast areas last month and advanced toward the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
That renewed fighting has broken the 2022 UN-brokered truce and widened the regional confrontation around the US-Israeli war on Iran.
