UPDATE 1 — Saudi — led coalition says it destroyed Houthi ballistic missile fired towards Riyadh
(Adds details from Saudi-led coalition) Oct 12 (Reuters) — A Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthis said it destroyed a ballistic missile fired by the Iran-aligned group towards Riyadh on Monday, as fighting between the two sides persists. Saudi Arabia earlier issued a warning alert for a potential "hostile threat" in Riyadh, according to a message seen. The Houthis have been attacking Saudi airports and oil facilities since last week as part of a rapidly escalating conflict that has spilled over from the wider regional conflagration between the United States and Iran.
