The Times of Israel:
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi air defenses on Friday intercepted a ballistic missile over the southern city of Najran after it was fired from rebel-held territory in neighboring Yemen, a Saudi-led military coalition said.
Debris from the missile landed in residential areas of Najran without causing casualties, coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki said in a statement released by the official Saudi Press Agency. Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed the attack via their news outlet Al-Masirah, saying the “Badr 1” missile had targeted Najran.
The Iran-backed insurgents have in recent months ramped up missile attacks against neighboring Saudi Arabia, which leads a military coalition against them.
