Saudi air defences intercepted Houthi missiles launched toward the Riyadh region for the second consecutive day on Wednesday, according to the Saudi-led military coalition fighting the Yemeni movement.

The coalition said the Iran-aligned Houthis launched three cruise missiles that were destroyed.

The armed group, which controls most of the populous parts of Yemen, has intensified attacks on Saudi Arabia's capital in recent days. A Houthi attack on Sunday damaged an Aramco administrative building in Riyadh's financial hub.

On Tuesday, Saudi air defences intercepted a ballistic missile and a cruise missile launched towards Riyadh, the coalition said.
