> Yemen’s Houthi rebels said Saturday that they had conducted two military operations targeting Riyadh and Yanbu, but offered no evidence. Saudi Arabia confirmed that the group tried to attack its capital with a ballistic missile, the first such targeting of Riyadh since fighting with the Tehran-backed rebels escalated and opened a new front in the Iran war.
