Saudi Arabia intercepts Yemeni rebel missile over Riyadh
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen’s Shiite rebels says a missile fired over Riyadh has been intercepted. The Yemeni rebels say they targeted the royal palace in the kingdom’s capital.
The announcement by the coalition is carried by Saudi state TV on Tuesday as people in the kingdom post videos on social media showing a small cloud of smoke in the sky.
Meanwhile, Mohammed Abdul-Salam, spokesman for the Shiite rebels in Yemen, says they fired a ballistic missile targeting the Yamama palace. Abdul-Salam tweets that a ballistic “Volcano H-2” missile was used in the attack.
