Coalition Says Houthi Ballistic Missile Intercepted Near Taif

The coalition supporting Yemen’s internationally recognised government said air defences intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by the Houthis toward Taif in Saudi Arabia.

The coalition attributed the launch to the Houthi movement, saying the missile was brought down before reaching its intended destination.

The brief announcement did not specify when the interception took place or where the missile was destroyed.

No information on casualties or damage was provided in the statement, which focused on the air defence response to the launch.
