Yemen's Houthis Fire Ballistic Missile Toward Saudi Arabia

Local Editor

Yemen’s Houthi movement fired a ballistic missile toward the southern Saudi province of Najran on Saturday, the group’s official al-Masirah TV reported, and a Saudi military spokesman said air defense forces had intercepted the missile.

The TV channel said the short-range missile targeted a military base. There were no reports of casualties or damage.

The Houthi revolutionaries have launched scores of missiles at the kingdom.

Saudi Arabia accuses Iran of supplying missile parts and expertise to the Houthis, who control the Yemeni capital Sana’a and other parts of the country. Iran and the Houthis deny the charge.

A Saudi-led military coalition launched a military aggression in March 2015 at the request of Hadi.

The conflict has killed more than 13,000 people, displaced over two million and unleashed a wave of hunger and disease.
