The US warns that fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-backed Houthis could quickly escalate. A missile has targeted Riyadh for the first time since the Yemen conflict resumed, while the Houthis’ rapid offensive has seized large parts of Yemeni territory and killed hundreds. Without American backing, Saudi Arabia faces difficult choices.

The US warned that Yemen’s situation was escalating rapidly after Houthi rebels launched a missile attack on Saudi Arabia’s capital. The Iran-backed militants have also seized large areas of Yemeni territory after clashes with Saudi-supported government forces. Despite being a close Saudi ally, Washington appears unwilling to intervene on Riyadh’s behalf.
Fighting between Iran-backed Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia is intensifying. A fire broke out near Riyadh’s main airport on Saturday morning after the Houthis said they had launched missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia. In Yemen, Houthi forces are advancing east against Saudi-backed government troops.
Nawaf Obaid, a senior research fellow at King’s College London, tells Al Jazeera that Saudi Arabia will mount a massive response to Houthi attacks originating in Yemen, coordinating its action with coalition partners.
Saudi Arabia’s stock market opened lower on Sunday after Yemen’s Houthis said they had struck sensitive targets in Riyadh with missiles and drones the previous day. The subdued mood spread across other Gulf bourses.
A Saudi-led coalition says Houthi forces in Yemen fired a ballistic missile at Riyadh before Saudi air defences intercepted and destroyed it. The capital sounded its first air-raid alert since July, and residents reported an explosion and black smoke, but authorities said there were no casualties or damage. The Houthis claimed attacks on sensitive sites in Riyadh and an Aramco facility in Yanbu as fighting continued across several Yemeni provinces.
Saudi Arabia confirmed Saturday that Yemen’s Houthi rebels attempted to target Riyadh with a ballistic missile. It was the first attempt against the capital since fighting with the Tehran-backed group escalated and opened a new front in the Iran war.
Saudi-led coalition spokesman Brigadier General Turki al-Maliki said Saudi air defenses intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by the Houthis toward Riyadh on Saturday morning. He said the group had intensified attempts to target civilians in the capital. Explosions were heard earlier in Riyadh.
