# Saudi-led coalition air defences intercept a Houthi ballistic missile and two drones targeting Riyadh Province as King Khalid International Airport resumes limited operations after a two-week closure caused by earlier Houthi attacks. 

Flights resumed at Riyadh's international airport on Sunday following a series of deadly attacks on the facility that saw it closed for two weeks, even as Yemen's Houthis targeted the country with strikes.
