Saudi Arabia has managed to intercept a ballistic missile launched from Yemen at a “civilian area,” according to the Arab coalition. However, Houthi rebels claim that a Saudi military base was successfully targeted in the strike.
Two ballistic missiles were fired from Yemen into Saudi Arabia on Saturday evening, allegedly targeting Khamis Mushait, a city in the southwest of the country, the coalition forces announced. One of the projectiles was reportedly destroyed by Saudi air-defense systems, while the other fell short of its intended target.
“No casualties were reported,” a spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition, Col. Turki Al-Malki, said in a statement, carried by the country’s official SPA news agency. “Launching ballistic missiles at densely populated civilian areas is a direct breach of the principles of the international humanitarian law.”
