Loud blasts rocked the sky above Riyadh on Sunday evening, according to media reports and videos on social media. The blasts reportedly occurred during the interception of a “ballistic missile” by the Saudi military.
There was no immediate comment from Saudi authorities. Videos, however, started surfacing online, purportedly showing the reported explosions in the skies.
The Houthi-controlled Al-Masirah TV channel claimed the militants launched “rockets” at the Saudi capital, targeting the Defense Ministry and other locations.
