Saudis intercept missile fired from Yemen targeting royal palace

Mohammed Abdussalam said on Twitter that a Volcano 2-H ballistic missile was fired towards al-Yamama royal palace.

Saudi air defences intercepted the missile, Saudi-owned channel al-Arabiya reported in a news flash quoting a Saudi-led military coalition.

Reuters reporters heard a blast in Riyadh on Tuesday and saw a plume of smoke rising above the Saudi capital.
