Saudi air defences on Monday (February 5th) intercepted a ballistic missile fired at the kingdom by Yemen's Houthis, AFP reported.
The attack was launched from Yemen's northern governorate of Saada, a Houthi stronghold, and "intercepted" at 7:23 a.m. local time, Arab coalition spokesman Col. Turki al-Maliki told the Saudi Press Agency.
Al-Maliki said the missile was headed toward the city of Khamis Mushait -- about 160 kilometres north of the border.
He accused the Houthis of "repeatedly targeting densely populated cities" and accused Iran of delivering the weapons to the militia.
