Saudi Arabia said its missile shield blocked a Houthi long-range missile aimed at Riyadh on Sept. 19, 2026. The Saudi-led coalition said it was fired at dawn and destroyed. Officials reported no deaths, injuries or damage. The Houthis said they aimed at 'sensitive sites' in Riyadh, the first attack on the capital since fighting opened a new front.
