RIYADH — Saudi Arabia's air defenses have intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by the Iran-backed Houthis militia towards the Eastern Region.

The Eastern Region is home to significant oil infrastructure, which has been previously been targeted and hit by cross-border attacks claimed by the Houthis.

A source told Okaz/Saudi Gazette that there was no impact on facilities belonging to Saudi Aramco and that the attack happened outside the areas of Aramco facilities.

The Arab Coalition shortly after said it intercepted a ballistic missile headed for Najran. The Arab Coalition stressed that the Houthi militia is deliberately targeting civilians and civilian objects.

The Coalition stressed that its forces are taking operational measures to protect civilians and deal with any threat.
