Saudi air defenses intercepted on Tuesday a ballistic missile fired by the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen towards Khamis Mushayt, reported the Saudi Press Agency.
Spokesman for the Saudi-led Arab coalition Colonel Turki al-Maliki said the missile was fired from Yemen’s Saada region at residential regions in the Kingdom.
The missile was detected and intercepted by the air defense.
No one was injured in the incident, Maliki added.
Maliki condemned the hostile Houthi attack, which demonstrates Tehran’s ongoing involvement of supporting the militias with sophisticated weapons.
This is a clear and blatant violation of International Humanitarian Law and United Nations Security Council resolutions 2216 and 2231, he stressed.
