Saudi Arabia intercepted what they described as a “hostile target” over Riyadh’s capital, state media revealed.
“I heard a loud sound and thought something had fallen from the sky,” a resident said, the Agence França-Presse reported on Saturday. “The whole house was shaking.”
Official media did not say where the hostile origin had come from, but the country has been the subject of repeated attacks by Huthi rebels in Yemen.
Iran-backed insurgents have been locked in a years-long struggle to overthrow the internationally recognized Yemeni government, which is being pushed by Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi intervention, which began in 2015, has faced international criticism for aggravating a humanitarian crisis in the impoverished nation.
Under the Trump administration, the Huthis had been branded terrorists, something incoming Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said he would review in an effort to alleviate the suffering.
