Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis fired a ballistic missile at the Saudi capital Riyadh on Sept. 20.
The Saudi-led coalition intercepted and destroyed the missile before it could hit civilian targets.
Shrapnel scattered across several residential neighborhoods in the capital.
No casualties or significant damage were immediately reported following the interception.
The attack triggered immediate international alarm and widespread condemnation.
The United States warned of a rapid escalation in the Middle East following the strike.
Washington issued a fresh travel alert, urging Americans to reconsider travel to the region.
The State Department cited a highly volatile security environment and potential airspace closures.
The latest strike follows a series of drone and missile attacks targeting Saudi energy infrastructure and airports.
A Saudi military spokesman condemned the continuous targeting of civilian areas.
The Houthis seized Yemen's capital Sanaa in 2014, prompting the Saudi-led military intervention the following year.
The years-long conflict created one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
U.N. officials repeatedly call for an immediate ceasefire and a political solution to the war.
