Coalition thwarts ballistic missile launched by Houthis towards Saudi Arabia
The Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen has thwarted and destroyed a ballistic missile that Yemen’s Houthi militias launched towards Khamis Mushait in Saudi Arabia.
While disclosing this on Thursday February 11, 2021, Coalition spokesman Col. Turki al-Malki said the attack was a “deliberate terrorist attempt” by the Iran-backed militias to target civilians.
“The perpetrators of terrorist attacks will be held accountable in accordance with international law,” he added.
Malki said early on Thursday that the Coalition had thwarted an explosives-laden drone launched by the Houthis towards Khamis Mushait.
