Saudi Arabia warns of potential aerial threat to Riyadh after Houthi missile interception

Saudi Arabia has issued a warning regarding a potential hostile aerial threat to its capital, Riyadh, following the interception and destruction of a Houthi missile in the eastern province of Haradh. The Saudi-led coalition confirmed the interception as part of ongoing defense efforts against the Iran-backed Houthi movement originating from Yemen. This development comes amid heightened tensions and repeated missile attacks by the Houthis, which have already resulted in casualties and infrastructure damage, notably impacting King Khalid International Airport. The market response to this situation appears to reflect increased anticipation of potential airspace disruptions.
