Air defenses intercept Houthi missiles, drones targeting Makkah, Madinah and other regions

Mecca, Saudi Arabia ·

Coalition spokesperson Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Maliki said air defense forces intercepted and destroyed two missiles and three drones launched toward several regions of the Kingdom on Friday and Saturday. A cruise missile aimed at the western region was among those intercepted.

The Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) controls Sanaa and much of northern Yemen. A Saudi-led coalition has backed Yemen's internationally recognized government since 2015, and cross-border attacks on Saudi territory have been a recurring feature of the conflict.
