RIYADH, April 27 (Xinhua) -- Saudi air defense intercepted on Friday a ballistic missile shot towards border city Najran, Al Arabiya local news reported.
It is a fresh attack, as Houthi militias have targeted various Saudi cities, mainly those near the Saudi-Yemeni border, for the last three years.
Saudi Arabia is leading a coalition in support of the exiled Yemeni government against Iran-backed militias.
On Monday, Saudi air defense intercepted two ballistic missiles fired by the Houthi militias targeting Jazan.
The air defense intercepted a missile targeting the Najran region while another one fell in a desert area on Sunday.
The militia has fired more than 100 ballistic missiles targeting Saudi Arabian land, according to an Arab Coalition statement on April 16. Saudi air defense has intercepted most of them. Enditem
