Saudi Air Defenses Intercept Ballistic Missiles, Cruise Missiles, and Two Drones
Published
The coalition announced that Saudi air defenses destroyed several ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, as well as two drones launched toward the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The coalition stated that air defenses on Thursday destroyed two ballistic missiles heading toward the city of Riyadh, and a third ballistic missile that was on its way to the Eastern Province.
A ballistic missile flies on a high trajectory and then descends rapidly toward its target. A cruise missile, by contrast, flies close to the ground for a longer distance and can change its course during flight. A drone is an unmanned aircraft that is controlled remotely.
The information available did not include further details about where the destroyed debris fell or about any potential damage. Readers can follow official statements for the latest developments.
