JEDDAH: Saudi Arabian air defense forces intercepted a ballistic missile fired by Houthi militia from Yemen toward Najran on Thursday evening. The missile was part of a flurry of attacks on the Kingdom in recent weeks by the Iranian-backed Houthis, who have now fired more than 180 missiles into southern Saudi Arabia. The Arab coalition fighting the Houthi militia in Yemen has repeatedly stressed the involvement of Iran in supporting the Houthis and supplying them with missiles to threaten Saudi Arabia’s security and regional security.
