Saudi confirms Houthis tried to attack its capital with ballistic missile
Saudi Arabia says its coalition stopped a Houthi ballistic missile aimed at Riyadh, the first such attack on the capital since fighting escalated. Rebels also claimed strikes on Aramco's Yanbu site, which Saudi forces say they thwarted. The conflict sits near a key global shipping route, so oil prices and freight costs could stay shaky. Watch fuel and logistics costs before you quote new jobs.
