Saudi Gazette report Saudi air defenses on Friday intercepted a missile fired by Yemeni rebels, days after the insurgents' second-in-command was killed in an air raid by Riyadh and its allies. The ballistic missile, the latest in a series of similar attacks, was headed toward the Kingdom's southern coastal city of Jazan, the official state news agency said. No casualties were reported. The Coalition Air Defense Forces detected the missile fired from Amran, Yemen at 12:46 p.m. Friday, Saudi Press Agency quoted the official spokesman of Coalition Forces Supporting Legitimacy in Yemen Col. Turki Al-Maliki, as stating on Friday. Al-Maliki stressed that the Houthis intentionally targeted civilian populated areas. He added that this hostile act by the Iranian-backed Houthi militias proves the Iranian regime’s continued involvement in supporting the armed Houthi militias with qualitative capabilities. This is a clear and flagrant challenge against and breach of UN Security Council resolutions 2216 and 2231. Their aim is to threaten the security of the Kingdom and regional and global security, he said. He added that the firing of ballistic missiles toward populated cities and villages is a violation of humanitarian international law. Saudi Arabia launched a military coalition in 2015 to battle the Houthi rebels in its southern neighbor and restore the internationally-recognized Yemeni government to power. The Houthis control Yemen's capital, Sanaa, as well as much of Yemen's north and the key Hodeida port on the country's western coastline. Riyadh on Wednesday confirmed it was behind an airstrike on the Yemeni capital that killed Saleh Al-Sammad, president of the Houthis' Supreme Political Council, on April 19. The rebels will hold a public funeral for Sammad in Sanaa on Saturday.
