Saudi Arabia shot down a missile fired by the Iran-backed Houthis (Ansarallah) on Wednesday (August 8th), with debris killing a Yemeni man and wounding 11 others, AFP reported.
The ballistic missile was fired from the northern Yemeni province of Amran towards the southern Saudi city of Jizan, said an Arab coalition statement published by the official Saudi Press Agency.
"Shrapnel from the intercepted missile scattered over residential areas, leaving a Yemeni resident killed and 11 other civilians wounded," the coalition said.
Wednesday's attack brings the tally to 165 Houthi missiles launched since 2015, according to the coalition, which that year joined the Yemeni government's fight against the militia.
