> Saudi Arabia says it intercepted six ballistic missiles launched by Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen. The Houthis said the attacks targeted a sensitive site in Riyadh and Saudi Aramco facilities, while fears of wider supply disruptions pushed oil prices up about 3%. Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan will hold an urgent meeting on support under their joint defence pact.
