Saudi-led coalition intercepts cruise missile over Medina as Houthis deny attack

The Saudi-led coalition says it destroyed a cruise missile over Medina, while Houthi forces deny targeting Saudi territory.

• Coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki announced Thursday the interception and destruction of a cruise missile in the Medina region.
• Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree denied any operation against Saudi Arabia, calling the coalition's claim a "great falsehood."
• Saree stated a ballistic missile struck King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and that a Typhoon fighter was hit over Saada.
• Ballistic missile debris over Riyadh on Wednesday injured a resident and damaged a house, the Saudi civil defense said.
• The Saudi cabinet, led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, had warned the Houthis they would face consequences for attacks on airports, Mecca and Medina.
• Saudi Arabia's Civil Defense warned that filming, publishing, or sharing information about missile interceptions and their impact sites would lead to legal accountability.
