According to a news brief from Open Chronicle (with agencies), Saudi air defences intercepted two drones launched by Yemen's Houthi movement toward the Riyadh region, and separately intercepted a ballistic missile targeting Khamis Mushait in southwestern Saudi Arabia, where a major military air base is located. The brief reports that the attacks add to Houthi pressure on Saudi territory and Red Sea infrastructure, and that the Gulf Cooperation Council condemned the attacks and called for an international response. The same brief frames the episode within the broader confrontation around the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el Mandeb, noting calls for both waterways to remain open. These are the report's claims; no independent verification of the specific events or figures was obtained.
