Saudi Civil Defense reported that debris from the intercepted missiles fell across Riyadh, injuring two women, a man and a child and causing minor damage to residential properties. The attack follows Saudi-led coalition strikes on Houthi-held Sanaa and comes amid broader confrontation involving Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iran and U.S. forces. Authorities say military operations against the Houthis will continue, while the U.S. military has rejected Iranian claims of control over the Strait of Hormuz. Available reporting does not establish whether the Riyadh attack caused significant strategic damage or represents a wider escalation.
