The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said it intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles launched by the Houthi group toward Najran province in southwestern Saudi Arabia, Anadolu Agency reported.
Coalition spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki al-Maliki said air defenses had intercepted the missiles. He made the statement on the social media platform “X”.
Al-Maliki said debris fell after the interceptions and that damage was being assessed.
The statement followed a warning from Saudi Civil Defense in Najran about a potential danger. The agency later announced that the danger had passed.
Yemen has been engulfed in civil war since the Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, and other areas in September 2014.
The Saudi-led coalition has supported Yemen’s internationally recognized government since March 2015.
Fighting has intensified in recent weeks, with the Houthis launching repeated missile and drone attacks on Saudi territory.
