Riyadh, Muharram 04, 1439, September 24, 2017, SPA -- The official spokesman of coalition forces "Coalition for the Restoration of the Legitimacy of Yemen" Colonel Turki al-Malki, said that at 2203 pm on Saturday, the Saudi Royal Air Force (RAF) discovered the launch of a ballistic missile from within Yemeni territory towards the Kingdom's territory. Colonel al-Maliki said that the missile was heading towards the city of Khamis Mushait and was intercepted and destroyed without any casualties. The coalition forces then targeted the launch site. Al-Maliki said that the control of ballistic weapons by terrorist organizations, including the Houthi armed militia, represents a threat to regional and international security. The coalition asserts that the continuation of armed militias in targeting cities with ballistic missiles is the biggest evidence of the continued smuggling of weapons into Yemen, especially from the port of Hodeidah, which is under the control of the coupists. --SPA 00:24 LOCAL TIME 21:24 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w496269
