4 injured, 15 homes damaged by debris from intercepted missiles in Saudi capital
Saudi-led coalition reports another missile interception in Al-Kharj as attack on Aramco building causes small fire in Dhahran
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (MNTV) – Four people were injured and 15 homes sustained minor damages after debris from two intercepted cruise missiles fell in Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh, authorities said early Wednesday.
Saudi Civil Defense said the missiles were launched by Yemen’s Houthi group and intercepted Tuesday, with falling debris injuring two women, a man and a child.
The agency said emergency procedures were carried out following the incident.
In a separate announcement, Saudi-led coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki said coalition forces intercepted and destroyed another cruise missile in Al-Kharj, southeast of Riyadh.
Meanwhile, the Saudi Energy Ministry said an administrative building belonging to Saudi Aramco in the eastern city of Dhahran was targeted Tuesday evening, sparking a small fire.
The ministry said emergency teams responded to the incident and took the necessary measures, confirming that no injuries or deaths were reported.
Earlier Tuesday, the Saudi-led coalition said it had intercepted and destroyed six missiles and drones launched by the Houthis toward the kingdom.
Al-Maliki said forces had intercepted missiles heading toward Haradh and Dhahran, while the coalition reported debris falling in a residential area in Dhahran.
The coalition also reported intercepting cruise missiles and drones in the Riyadh region and southern Saudi Arabia.
