ADEN (Reuters) - The Iran-aligned Houthi movement launched missiles on the Saudi capital Riyadh on Sunday, and reinforced Yemen's main port city of Hodeidah as an Arab coalition moved closer to the city centre in the largest offensive of the war.

Saudi Arabia's air defence forces intercepted two ballistic missiles over Riyadh, state media reported, in at least the sixth attack targeting the Saudi capital since December. Houthi-run media said the rockets were aimed at the Saudi defence ministry and other targets.
