Saudi air defense forces have intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile fired by Yemen's Houthi insurgents at the Saudi city of Najran, the Coalition supporting Yemen's legitimate government said on Friday.
Coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki said the missile was launched randomly from Yemen’s Saada province.
The missile intended to target civilian and populated areas, he stated.
When intercepted and destroyed, the debris fell on residential areas but there was no report of human losses or material damage, he added.
Maliki reiterated that the Houthis’ hostile action is evidence of the Iranian regime’s support to the armed insurgents in violation of Security Council Resolutions 2216 and 2231.
