Falling debris from two intercepted cruise missiles launched by Houthis has injured four people and damaged 15 homes, Saudi authorities said early on Wednesday.

In a statement shared by the Saudi Press Agency, the General Directorate of Civil Defence noted that those injured included two women, a man, and a child.

The authorities added that the debris caused "limited material damage" to the homes.

Meanwhile, Yemen's Saudi-led coalition reported the interception of four cruise missiles and three drones launched by Houthis targeting Riyadh and the southern region. 

It also intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched toward Haradh, and another cruise missile that targeted Al Kharj.
