RIYADH – The Air Defense Forces of the Coalition Supporting Legitimacy in Yemen intercepted and destroyed two missiles fired toward Najran by Iranian-backed Houthis on Sunday, Coalition spokesman Col. Turki Al-Malki said.

The missile fragments fell in residential areas. However, no casualties, injuries or damages were reported.

Col. Malki said the hostile act by the Iranian-supported Houthi militias continuously proves the Iranian regime’s involvement in supporting the armed Houthi militias with qualitative capabilities in a clear violation of UN Security Council resolutions 2216 and 2231 with the objective of threatening Saudi Arabia’s security as well as regional and global security.

The firing of ballistic missiles towards the populated cities and villages is in violation of the humanitarian international laws. – SPA
