Saudi-led coalition intercepts a missile as fighting rages in Yemen

The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen has intercepted a Houthi missile as fighting continues along key fronts between the armed group and forces loyal to the internationally recognised Yemeni government. The coalition spokesman, Major General Turki al-Maliki, stated that the missile was intercepted and destroyed in the southern region of Saudi Arabia.

Earlier, the coalition also destroyed a drone launched towards the southern region on Sunday evening. In response to the ongoing attacks, the Saudi Civil Defence authority issued and then lifted alerts warning of a "potential danger" in the city of Abha and several provinces, urging residents not to film, publish, or share information related to missile and drone attacks.

Meanwhile, a Houthi-affiliated media outlet reported that seven people were wounded in Saudi-led coalition air strikes on Hodeidah, with four people injured in Ras Isa port dock and three others in an attack on an oil company site in Bajil district. The Saudi-led coalition has not commented on these reports.
