Arab coalition air defenses intercepted on Sunday a ballistic missile fired by Houthis on the Yemeni northeastern governorate of Marib, the Yemeni internationally-recognized government’s army reported.

“The Patriot system has intercepted a ballistic missile over Marib,” the government forces’ media center tweeted.

The missile was fire by the Houthis Sunday at noon, the center added without further details.

This is the second missile fired by the group at Marib in 24 hours, after the first fell Saturday near the house of a tribal sheikh in the al-Wadi district.
