Yemen's Houthi movement said its forces on Sunday fired a short-range ballistic missile on Saudi military radars in the Saudi border region of Asir.
In a statement posted on Yemen’s state Saba news agency, the Houthis said the locally-modified missile, Badr-1, hit the targets accurately.
Saudi Arabia has yet made comments on Sunday's Houthi claim.
The revolutionary movement has recently intensified such attacks in response to the continued Saudi-led aggression against Yemen.
On Wednesday, the Houthis fired a missile towards the border city of Jazan.
In March 2015, Saudi Arabia led a military coalition of Arab forces, backed by the United States, to intervene in Yemen's conflict to back the resigned regime of former President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
The coalition has launched thousands of airstrikes in attempts to roll back the Houthis and forcefully reinstate President Hadi in the capital Sana’a.
In response, the Houthis have fired hundreds of ballistic missiles toward Saudi cities as part of retaliatory attacks.
The airstrikes have so far killed more than 10,000 Yemenis, mostly civilians, and pushed the Arab country to the brink of mass famine.
