Saudi air defences intercepted Houthi cruise missiles launched toward the Riyadh region for a second consecutive day on 11 November 2026, according to the Saudi-led coalition, which said three cruise missiles were destroyed. The coalition also said two drones aimed at Mecca and southern areas and two missiles pointed toward the west were intercepted. Saudi civil defence said debris from two ballistic missiles intercepted over the Mecca region fell in the area, and it issued and then lifted threat alerts in Taif, Yanbu and Khamis Mushait. The Houthis denied targeting Mecca, saying they struck Saudi oil facilities, a pumping station in a Red Sea city and military bases. The Houthis also claimed a ballistic missile attack on a Saudi command centre in Aden, while Yemeni government forces launched a major offensive. The available coverage did not include independent confirmation of the Houthi claims.
