The Saudi-led coalition supporting Yemen's internationally recognised government reported that it had intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles launched by the Houthi militia towards Dhahran and Haradh. The first missile was destroyed before reaching its intended target, but fragments from the interception fell in a residential area of Dhahran.
Specialist teams were immediately dispatched to the site to assess the situation and take necessary measures. A separate missile was intercepted and destroyed in the air before reaching its target over Haradh. This comes on the same day that Saudi Arabia's Cabinet warned the Houthis that they would face consequences for repeated attacks on the Kingdom's airports, Mecca, Medina, visitors to the Two Holy Mosques, and civilian and economic facilities.
