The Saudi-led coalition reported early Wednesday that its forces successfully intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile aimed at the city of Khamis Mushait. According to Saudi state television, the coalition identified the launch sites as being located within Houthi-controlled territories, specifically the capital city of Sanaa and the governorates of Saada and Amran.

In a related development, the Yemeni foreign ministry issued a statement through the state-run Saba news agency condemning recent Houthi attacks targeting airports in the Saudi cities of Jazan and Najran. The ministry’s statement went further to denounce threats directed at the holy cities of Medina and Mecca, characterizing these actions as a violation of Yemen's sovereignty and a misuse of its territory. The ministry emphasized that these military actions do not reflect the will of the Yemeni people and expressed full solidarity with Saudi Arabia in the face of these threats.

While the reports confirm the coalition's defensive actions and the Yemeni government's diplomatic stance, there is no mention of casualties or physical damage resulting from the intercepted missile in Khamis Mushait. The Houthi movement has not yet issued a formal response or confirmation regarding the specific missile launch reported by the coalition.
