Saudi-Led Coalition Says Two Missiles Intercepted Over Riyadh, a Day After Another Attack on the East-West Oil Pipeline

The Saudi-led coalition said on Tuesday 10 November 2026 (19 Aban 1405) that a ballistic missile and a cruise missile were intercepted and destroyed over Riyadh and a second ballistic missile was downed over the south of the country. Coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki blamed Yemen's Houthis for the attacks. Al Jazeera, citing AFP, reported that Riyadh residents received shelter alerts and that civil defence later said the danger had passed. The Houthis made no immediate comment.

On Monday 9 November the East-West oil pipeline in the Medina region was attacked again. A Saudi Energy Ministry official told the state news agency the strike caused a limited fire that was extinguished, pipeline operations were unaffected and no casualties were reported. Al Jazeera notes the pipeline is vital for Saudi oil exports because of Tehran's restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz. The Houthi-run news agency reported coalition air strikes on a gas facility and a state oil company building in Sanaa; the coalition did not immediately confirm them.
