Saudi Intercepts Houthi Missiles Fired Towards Kingdom

Spokesman for the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen Turki al-Maliki. Asharq Al-Awsat

Houthi missiles targeting cities in Saudi Arabia have been intercepted, the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen said Thursday.

The missiles were fired by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, the Coalition said in a statement released by the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

"They were launched in a systematic, deliberate manner to target cities and civilians, which is a flagrant defiance of international humanitarian law," SPA quoted Coalition Spokesman Turki al-Maliki as saying.

"The capital (Sanaa) has become a Houthi militia assembly, installation and launching hub for ballistic missiles that target the Kingdom," he added.
