KHAMIS MUSHAYIT, Saudi Arabia — The Saudi-led coalition reported on Friday that its forces successfully intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles launched by Houthi militants aimed at the Khamis Mushait airbase. Coalition spokesperson Turki al-Maliki confirmed the incident in a statement to the press, emphasizing the coalition’s commitment to ensuring the security of the region.
The interception comes amid escalating tensions in the area, with both military and political actions intensifying in recent weeks. The Houthis, a group supported by Iran, have frequently targeted Saudi Arabia with missile attacks in ongoing conflicts that have drawn international attention.
The coalition’s efforts to thwart these attacks are part of a broader strategy to protect Saudi airspace and infrastructure.
