Saudi Arabia.. Video clips of intercepting winged missiles and drones launched by Al-Houthi

On Thursday, the spokesman for the coalition to support legitimacy in Yemen, led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Major General Turki al-Maliki, published video clips of interceptions of cruise missiles and drones launched by the Iran-backed Houthi group. The video clips were posted by Al-Maliki on his page on the X platform (formerly Twitter).

Al-Maliki said in a press conference about the Houthi attacks on airports and civilian facilities in Saudi Arabia: “We condemn the brutal Houthi attacks on civilians in the Kingdom, including King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, in a series of brutal attacks on civilian facilities frequented daily by thousands of travelers and innocent civilians, as well as attempts to target dozens of airports, ports, and oil installations in the Kingdom,” according to what was reported by the Saudi Al-Ikhbariya channel via the “X” platform, previously Twitter. Turki Al-Maliki confirmed that there have been 20 Houthi attacks on King Khalid Airport since the beginning of this October, resulting in 17 deaths and 333 injuries.

Major General Turki Al-Maliki added that two people were killed and 28 others were injured as a result of the Houthi attack on Abha Airport, adding that "what the Houthi militia is doing is a flagrant violation of international norms." Turki Al-Maliki stressed that "targeting airports affects the security of the Kingdom and threatens air traffic."

He said: "The Houthi attempts to target the Two Holy Mosques are a systematic hostile act and a heinous matter that targets pilgrims and visitors."
