A Greek-operated air defense system intercepted two ballistic missiles fired from Yemen at Saudi oil refineries in Yanbu on Saturday, according to Greek security sources cited by Reuters. No strikes came from Iranian territory, and prediction-market pricing eased on the odds of near-term Houthi military action against Israel.

A Greek-operated air defense system intercepted two ballistic missiles launched from Yemen toward Saudi Arabia on Saturday, according to Greek security sources cited by Reuters. The missiles had targeted oil refineries in Yanbu.

The interception landed amid the Saudi-led coalition's continuing military operations against the Houthi movement in Yemen. Coalition forces had recently struck Houthi military sites in Yemen's Hodeidah governorate, which the report cast as part of the area's complex dynamics.

No strikes were reported from Iranian territory. The article framed that absence as a focus on defensive measures rather than an escalation involving Iran.

In prediction markets, pricing adjusted toward decreased support for immediate Houthi military action against Israel. The lack of Iranian involvement, the article said, appears to lower the potential for regional escalation.
