Saudi-led coalition says Houthi claims of targeting Riyadh “misleading”-Xinhua

RIYADH, Oct. 3 (Xinhua) -- The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen on Saturday described claims by the Houthi group that it had targeted the Saudi capital Riyadh as "misleading," saying they were intended to cover up losses sustained by the group.

He said the claims aimed to divert attention from the group's losses, growing public anger over its practices, and its links to external agendas. Earlier in the day, the Houthis said it had launched ballistic missiles and drones at an Aramco facility in Riyadh in response to what it described as intensified Saudi airstrikes on...
