Falling debris from Houthi missile interception damages Riyadh civilian sites

Falling debris from two intercepted missiles fired by Yemen’s Houthi group damaged a kindergarten and a medical complex in Riyadh on Thursday. The Saudi-led coalition confirmed the interception of the missiles, while the kingdom's civil defence agency reported the damage to civilian infrastructure without detailing casualties.

This attack is part of an intensifying campaign by the Iran-backed group, which has increasingly targeted Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport and other Saudi infrastructure. Following the explosions, international schools implemented safety measures, and the United States advised its citizens in the region to remain vigilant amidst the ongoing conflict.
