On March 25, Houthi militants fired seven ballistic missiles into Saudi Arabia. Reports indicate that three missiles targeted Riyadh, two aimed at Jizan, and one each targeted Khamis Mushait and Najran. Houthi media confirmed these launches, identifying at least one of the missiles fired as the Burkan-H2 and asserting that airports were the primary target. According to KSA press reports, Saudi air defense forces “intercepted and destroyed” all seven missiles, although this claim cannot be independently confirmed. At least one Patriot interceptor failed after launch and crashed in the Al-Malqa neighborhood in Riyadh. Another appears to have detonated shortly after being launched. One Egyptian resident in Riyadh was killed by shrapnel, and at least two others were injured.
