Saudi air defense forces shot down a ballistic missile fired by Yemen’s Houthi militia toward an air base outside the southern city of Khamees Mushait on Monday night, the Saudi-led coalition said in a statement carried by the state news agency SPA.
The Qaher-1 missile was aimed at Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid Air Base, located about 60 km (40 miles) north of the Yemeni border, the Houthis announced on their official Twitter account.
