The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted missiles fired by the Houthis towards Aramco’s headquarters in Dhahran and destroyed three cruise missiles and two drones on Tuesday in Riyadh and the country’s southern region, according to the coalition.

Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the Houthis are stepping up attacks on infrastructure in Saudi Arabia in a bid to increase energy prices ahead of the US midterm elections and repeated his threat that the US could step up military attacks across the Middle East after the November elections, according to Al Jazeera.
