Reports Of Blast In Capital Riyadh

Wires and social media reporting that large blast or blasts have been heard in the capital Riyadh.

• Comes shortly after other wire and social media reports stated that a ballistic missile had been intercepted by Saudi military over the city in a similar attack to that attempted over the weekend (also intercepted).
• Unclear whether latest blast was another interception of a missile or drone, or due to a separate incident.
• Saudi authorities remain on high alert due to frequent missile attacks from Houthi rebels in Yemen, which the Saudi-led coalition has been fighting against for several years in the Yemeni civil war.
