Saudi Arabia intercepts 4 ballistic missiles from Yemen

Xinhua, March 28, 2017 Adjust font size:

Saudi forces have destroyed 4 ballistic missiles launched from Yemen which were targeting two border cities, Al Arabiya local news reported on Tuesday.

The cities are Abha and Khamis Mushait and they are among other border areas that have been targeted in such attacks since the beginning of Saudi-led war against Houthi militias in Yemen that completed two years this week.

Most of those missiles have been destroyed before reaching the ground, while tens of civilians died in such attacks.

Besides the interception, Saudi Arabia usually destroyed the launchers of those missiles through airstrikes.

The war shows no signs of ending, especially after the recent development of the planting of sea mines in the Red Sea by Houthis. Endit
