Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted a Houthi ballistic missile fired toward Medina
The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthis said on Thursday that air defences intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched toward the Medina region, home to one of Islam's holiest cities. Minutes earlier, Saudi civil defence warned of possible danger near the Red Sea oil port of Yanbu. It was unclear whether the two alerts were linked.
