RIYADH: Saudi air defenses have intercepted and destroyed eight drones and three ballistic missiles targetting Saudi Arabia, the Arab Coalition supporting supporting Yemen's legitimate government said on Thursday.
In a statement announced on Twitter, the Coalition said the UAVs and missiles were launched by the Iran-back Houthi militia in Yemen.
The new attacks came as fighting for Yemen’s strategic Marib city continued and despite calls by the UN for the Houthis to halt the violence.
RIYADH: In commemoration of Founding Day, Saudi Arabia’s King Salman said the Kingdom has achieved “security and prosperity.”
