The Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen said on Friday that Saudi defenses destroyed a ballistic missile fired at the city of Khamis Mushait.
The Arab Coalition said in a statement that the missile, launched from Saada airport, deliberately targeted a commercial center in the city.
Such escalations by the Houthi militias, including the targeting of civilians, required an immediate response in order to protect them, the Coalition added.
