Saudi Air Defenses Intercept Houthi Missile Fired toward Riyadh
(Reuters) Katie Paul and Rania El Gamal - Saudi air defenses shot down a ballistic missile fired by Yemen's Houthis towards Riyadh on Tuesday. The Iran-aligned Houthis said it had aimed the missile at the Saudi royal court at al-Yamama palace, where a meeting of Saudi leaders was underway. At the UN, U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley said the Houthi missile strike "bears all the hallmarks of previous attacks using Iranian-provided weapons." Haley said she was exploring, with some UN Security Council colleagues, several options for pressuring Iran to "adjust their behavior."
