Saudi Arabia said that it intercepted a missile that it was fired at its capital, Riyadh, according to reports.

The kingdom’s air defenses shot down the ballistic missile that was fired from Yemen, where Saudi forces are at war.

No casualties were reported after the incident, The Associated Press reported.
Locals on social media said they heard loud explosions in the air.

The missiles were shot by the rebel Houthi militia based in Yemen. The Houthis’ al-Masira television said that rockets were aimed at Saudi defense ministry and other targets in the Saudi capital, Reuters reported.

The Arab News reported that two missiles were shot down on Sunday.
Saudi authorities did not offer a comment on the matter.
