RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia intercepted two ballistic missiles over its capital Riyadh on Wednesday that had been fired from Yemen, state media reported, after at least four blasts rocked the city centre.

 

Yemenโ€™s Iran-allied armed Houthi movement said it had launched the missiles at economic targets in the Saudi capital. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

 

The attack came a day after U.S. President Donald Trump pulled out of a nuclear deal with Iran, partly over concerns the pact did not address Tehranโ€™s ballistic missile programme or its role in conflicts in Yemen and Syria.
