The Saudi-led Arab coalition announced Sunday that the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen had fired a ballistic missile from Sanaa on Saturday.
Coalition spokesman Colonel Turki al-Malki said the militias fired the projectile from a residential area in Sanaa. It fell in an agricultural and densely populated area in the al-Safra district in Yemen’s Saada.
He accused the Houthis of deliberately violating international humanitarian law by continuing to launch ballistic missiles that arbitrarily land in residential areas.
He reiterated the coalition’s vow to continue to take firm measures to neutralize and destroy the Houthis’ ballistic capabilities in order to protect the Yemeni people and regional and international security.
