Saudi Arabia intercepts ballistic missile over Riyadh as Yemen rebels say they fired at King Salman's palace
Daily Mail/UK, Dec 19, 2017

Saudi Arabia has intercepted a ballistic missile over Riyadh after Yemen rebels claimed to have fired at the royal residence of King Salman.

Eyewitnesses said they saw a plume of smoke over the capital after hearing a blast at about 10.50am this morning - shortly before the scheduled unveiling of the Saudi budget.

A Saudi-led coalition is battling the armed Houthi movement in neighbouring Yemen and this morning the Shiite rebels said they were targeting a meeting of leaders at Yamama palace.

They claimed a ballistic 'Volcano H-2' missile was used in the attack.
