Saudi-led coalition says it destroyed missiles fired at Riyadh by Houthis

The distinction between a ballistic and a cruise missile in a single salvo is the detail worth noting: it points to a more layered strike package than the headline 'two missiles' suggests, and to air defense handling both profiles at once. For Gulf markets and cross-border risk pricing, the relevant signal is that the exchange remains episodic rather than escalating into wider infrastructure targeting. Whether such launches toward the capital continue at this cadence, and whether interception claims are corroborated by independent sources, is the open question.
