Saudi Arabia says new Yemen missile intercepted
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSaudi air defenses intercept a ballistic missile over the southern province of Jizan, after it was fired from rebel-held territory in neighboring Yemen, state media says.
“Saudi defenses intercepted a missile over Jizan, launched by Houthi militia from Yemen,” the state-owned Al-Ekhbariya TV reports, without specifying if there are any casualties.
Iran-backed Houthi rebels have in recent months ramped up missile attacks against neighboring Saudi Arabia, which leads a military coalition that has fought the insurgents since 2015.
The attack comes a day after three civilians were killed in Jizan, when Houthi rebels fired a “projectile” at the province, according to the coalition.
