Saudi air defenses intercepted and destroyed on Wednesday a ballistic missile fired by the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen against Saudi Arabia.
Saudi-led Arab coalition spokesman Colonel Turki al-Maliki said that the rocket was fired from Yemen’s Saada province towards Jizan city.
The air defenses destroyed the missile that was deliberately fired at residential areas, he added.
No one was injured in the incident.
This hostile act demonstrates the Iranian regime’s ongoing involvement in supporting the Houthis with weapons in clear and blatant violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions 2216 and 2231, Maliki stressed.
Wednesday’s missile brings to 198 the number of rockets fired by the Houthis at the Kingdom.
