Saudi Arabia intercepts Houthi missiles targeting Taif, Yanbu

Saudi Arabia issued 'hostile aerial threat' emergency alerts across Mecca Province, Jeddah, Yanbu, and Taif on Saturday before authorities declared the danger passed. The Saudi-led coalition said air defences intercepted and destroyed two Houthi ballistic missiles targeting Taif and Yanbu, plus another aimed at Riyadh. Fighting also intensified on Yemen's front lines around Taiz and Lahj.
