The Saudi-led coalition said on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, that it intercepted missiles aimed at Riyadh and southern Saudi Arabia. Its spokesman blamed Yemen's Houthis; they had not commented on this attack when Al Jazeera reported it. The report cited AFP on explosions heard in Riyadh. A Saudi Energy Ministry official also said Monday's attack on the East-West oil pipeline in the Medina region caused a limited fire that was extinguished, without disrupting pipeline operations. The route matters for Saudi oil exports amid restrictions on traffic through the Strait of Hormuz; an attack alone does not establish an interruption to exports.
