Saudi Arabian air forces destroyed Saturday a ballistic missile in border city Najarn launched by Houthis in Yemen, Al Arabiya local news reported.

Another missile hit a house in the city, in which a girl was injured and received treatment at the scene. No further details were provided on the severity of the girl's injury.

Most of the missiles launched from Yemen were intercepted and destroyed before hitting their targets. Those missiles were targeting Saudi border cities.
