Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted three Houthi cruise missiles fired toward Riyadh

Single source · Riyadh, Saudi Arabia · 2026-11-11

The Saudi-led coalition says its air defences intercepted and destroyed three Houthi cruise missiles fired toward the Riyadh region on 11 November 2026, and Asharq Al-Awsat, Saudi Gazette and Cyprus Mail relay that statement. An anonymous X post claims Houthi missiles reached an Aramco facility in central Riyadh; no other claim supports this and it conflicts with the coalition's interception account. Reports differ on totals, with one Saudi Gazette headline citing five missiles and two drones across several regions.
