The security forces of Saudi Arabia intercepted and destroyed a missile launched from the area of the border by Houthis, it was aimed at the Industrial City of Jizan. Reuters report this.
The missile was targeted at the residential areas of the Industrial City of Jizan but was intercepted by the security forces of Saudi Arabia.
“No casualties or damage were recorded when the missile was intercepted,” Colonel Turki al-Maliki said.
The Iran-aligned Houthis regularly announce they have fired missiles over the Saudi-Yemeni border into Jizan province in an effort to hit important facilities, including an oil refinery operated by Saudi Aramco.
The Houthis say their missile attacks on the kingdom are in retaliation for air raids on Yemen by the Western-backed coalition, which entered Yemen’s war in 2015 to try to restore President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
