Houthi Missile Debris Damages Riyadh Kindergarten and Medical Complex

news18.com —

Saudi Arabia said Thursday that debris from intercepted Houthi missiles damaged a kindergarten and a medical complex in Riyadh, with no casualties reported. The Iran-backed group launched a fresh wave of attacks on the Saudi capital. The Saudi-led coalition intercepted two missiles heading toward Riyadh, and the civil defence agency attributed the damage to falling debris. The Houthis claimed three attacks on King Khalid International Airport, plus strikes on Najran airport and an airbase in Khamis Mushait. The group has escalated attacks on Saudi Arabia since fighting in Yemen intensified in July, threatening key infrastructure. Unverified reports differed on airport damage, while several flights were delayed or cancelled.
