Yemen's Houthis said they targeted King Khalid International Airport and a financial centre in Riyadh with two ballistic missiles. The two sources describe Saudi confirmation differently, while Iran reported tankers hitting mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
Yemen's Houthis said on Sunday they targeted King Khalid International Airport and a financial centre in Riyadh with two ballistic missiles. Investing.com reported there was no immediate Saudi confirmation.
Saudi coalition reports interceptions
Crypto Briefing, citing a report by @FirstSquawk, reported that the Saudi-led coalition confirmed it intercepted and destroyed the missiles, with no reported casualties or damage.
Separately, the coalition said it destroyed two Houthi drones launched toward the Mecca region, according to spokesman Major-General Turki al-Maliki. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree rejected the claim that the drones targeted Mecca or Medina, calling it "a blatant lie and fabrication."
Tankers hit mines in Hormuz
In the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said two oil tankers hit sea mines in the southern part of the waterway, according to news agency ISNA. ISNA said one of them, a supertanker carrying more than two million barrels of crude, sank.
Iranian state broadcaster IRIB reported that five tankers hit mines over 48 hours. Iran also says any return to talks depends on the United States meeting seven Iranian demands, including lifting sanctions and Iran keeping control of the Strait of Hormuz, which Tehran says is now closed.
