The Saudi-led Arab coalition intercepted and destroyed on Saturday a ballistic missile fired by the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen towards Riyadh.

It also destroyed armed drones launched towards Jazan, Khamis Mushait and the Southern Region.

The coalition stressed that it is taking the necessary measures to neutralize and destroy the terrorist Houthis’ capabilities in order to protect civilians in line with international humanitarian law.

Gulf Cooperation Council Secretary-General Dr. Nayef al-Hajraf condemned the Houthis for targeting civilians, saying that the persistence of such terrorist attacks reflects the militias’ flagrant defiance of the international community.

He urged the international community to take an immediate and firm stance to stop their repeated terrorist attacks that target vital installations and Saudi security and stability.

He reiterated the GCC’s solidarity with the Kingdom and all the measures it takes to defend its territories and safeguard its security.

Under the patronage of Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Saudi Crown Prince, Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Human Capability Development Program Committee—a key initiative in achieving the Kingdom’s Vision 2030—the second edition of the Human Capability Initiative Conference will open in Riyadh on Sunday.

The two-day conference, themed "Beyond Readiness," underscores the Kingdom's unwavering commitment to investing in human capital as a cornerstone of national development and future progress, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Saturday.

Organized by the Human Capability Development Program, this premier global platform will bring together more than 300 distinguished speakers, including influential leaders, policymakers, and global experts from academia, the private sector, and non-profit organizations, for over 100 panel discussions.

The second edition will emphasize the vital role of unlocking potential to advance human capabilities through the strategic application of cutting-edge technologies. The goal is to cultivate an educational ecosystem that promotes lifelong learning and empowers individuals and communities to adapt effectively to rapid transformation.

Furthermore, the conference will highlight the importance of embedding values that underpin growth and development, contributing to the formation of interconnected societies capable of addressing both local and global challenges. A key focus will be on forging partnerships and creating opportunities that amplify the role of individuals in devising sustainable solutions for a brighter future.

Building on the success of its first edition, the conference further solidifies the Kingdom's efforts in human capability development and makes a significant contribution to the global discourse on the future of human potential in an era of rapid change.
