## Summary

Saudi-led coalition forces said they intercepted two ballistic missiles and five drones aimed at parts of Saudi Arabia, which they attributed to Yemen’s Houthi movement. The interceptions come amid intensified fighting across Yemen and rising attacks on Saudi territory, prompting the US Embassy in Riyadh to warn Americans of an increased threat.

The coalition said two missiles were aimed at Riyadh and three drones were downed in the Eastern region on Sunday; two more suspected Houthi drones were intercepted on Saturday. Saudi authorities say at least 26 people have been killed in suspected Houthi attacks since 23 September, while the International Organization for Migration reports more than 340,000 people displaced in Yemen since August. Both sides reported military operations and losses, and the Houthis also claimed to have shot down a Saudi coalition reconnaissance aircraft.
