Saudi Arabia says Houthi missile debris damaged kindergarten and clinic in Riyadh

In Saudi Arabia, debris from an intercepted Houthi ballistic missile damaged a kindergarten and a medical clinic in Riyadh on Thursday. The missile, launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels, was destroyed by Saudi air defenses, but fragments caused material damage. The attack is part of a recent escalation in cross-border strikes, including attacks on Saudi airports that killed three people. The incident coincides with a new offensive by Yemen's internationally recognized government to retake territory from the Houthis, who have controlled Sanaa since 2014. The conflict has intensified following the collapse of a 2022 truce.
