Saudi-led coalition says it intercepts two missiles fired by Houthis

The Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted and destroyed two missiles fired by Yemen’s Houthi movement today, according to Nikkei Asia. The claimed shootdowns underscore continuing cross-border threats amid the Yemen conflict and risks to regional energy and shipping corridors. Any escalation could disrupt Red Sea lanes and heighten tensions involving Iran-aligned groups and Gulf states.

Nikkei Asia did not specify the launch location or any damage on the ground, and no casualty reports have emerged so far. Saudi state media and Houthi channels had not immediately published corroborating details, and there were no indications that air traffic or port operations in Saudi Arabia were affected. Watch for official updates on debris location, maritime advisories in the Red Sea, and coalition or Houthi statements clarifying targets and timing. [Developing. This article will be updated.]
