Saudi Arabia says it intercepted a missile fired by Houthi forces toward Riyadh, according to La Presse. The Houthis in Yemen have claimed responsibility for the attack on the Saudi capital, Le Journal de Montréal reports.
The strike marks an escalation in the Middle East conflict. Ouest-France reports that the attack on Riyadh prompted U.S. President Donald Trump to cut short his weekend and return to the White House.
Iran has denied any involvement in the war in Yemen, according to the Journal de Québec. Ouest-France also reports that Iran has extended a hand — a signal of possible diplomatic outreach amid the fighting.
The reports, published Sunday, draw on several outlets covering the same developments. La Presse says Saudi Arabia described the missile as intercepted. Le Journal de Montréal says the Houthis claimed the attack. TVA Nouvelles reported that Trump returned to the White House after the escalation.
What to watch next: whether Iran's apparent overture leads to talks, and how Saudi Arabia and the United States respond to the claimed strike on Riyadh.
