Context
Oct 25 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia intercepted drones and missiles over its capital Riyadh and southern areas on Sunday, the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said, as fighting with the Iran-aligned Houthis persisted. The conflict has become an increasingly destabilising front in the US-Israeli offensive against Iran, turning US ally Saudi Arabia into a pressure point in the wider war. On Sunday, Saudi civil defence authorities issued emergency alerts for Riyadh, Abha and Khamis Mushait, before announcing minutes later that the danger had passed.
