"The Coalition" Announces Interception and Destruction of Ballistic Missile North of Riyadh

The coalition led by Saudi Arabia in Yemen announced the interception and destruction of a ballistic missile north of Riyadh launched by the Houthis, according to a statement issued on Wednesday. The coalition stated, as reported by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA): "The interception and destruction of a ballistic missile north of the city of Riyadh launched by the terrorist Houthi militia."

The "Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen" added: "We are tracking the launch platform with the coalition's intelligence system in the skies over Sana'a and we will destroy it."
