Yemen Rebels Stage Missile-and-Drone Attack on Saudi Capital

Yemen rebels launched a missile-and-drone attack on Saudi Arabia’s capital, touching off an interception effort that rained shrapnel over Riyadh, Saudi authorities said.

The Iran-backed Houthis said they fired a ballistic missile and 15 bomb-laden drones at Riyadh and other cities on Saturday. Shrapnel that fell after the missile was intercepted damaged a home in Riyadh, without causing injuries, according to a civil defense statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency.
