Just hours ahead of US President Donald Trump’s arrival, Saudi Arabia said it shot down a ballistic missile, fired by Yemen's Houthi movement, southwest of the capital Riyadh.

Air defence units "intercepted a ballistic missile that was launched by Houthi militias", and it fell over an unpopulated area 180 km from Riyadh, the Saudi-led coalition said in a statement.

Trump, whose country provides weapons, intelligence and aerial refuelling for the coalition, is due to arrive on Saturday for two days of summits with Saudi, Gulf and Muslim leaders.
