Saudi Arabia says new Yemen missile intercepted

Saudi air defenses intercept a ballistic missile fired from rebel-held territory in neighboring Yemen, state media reports, as a Riyadh-led military coalition intensifies an offensive to capture a strategic port.

The missile targeted Khamis Mushait in the kingdom’s south and caused no casualties, the coalition says in a statement released by the official Saudi Press Agency.

The Iran-allied Huthi rebels say via their news outlet Al-Masirah they had targeted a Saudi Aramco facility near the southwestern city of Abha.

The state-owned oil giant was not immediately reachable for comment.
