The Saudi-led coalition issued a statement confirming that its defense systems intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by Houthi forces. According to coalition spokesman Major-General Turki al-Malki, the projectile was targeting the city of Khamis Mushait in Saudi Arabia.

This incident is part of a long-standing conflict between the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthi movement, which has been ongoing for several years. While the coalition frequently reports the interception of missiles and drones launched from Houthi-controlled territories in Yemen, the Houthi movement often maintains that such strikes are a response to coalition military actions within Yemen.

In this specific report, the information provided is limited to the coalition's official account. There is no statement or confirmation provided from Houthi representatives regarding the launch or the coalition's claim of interception. Consequently, the details regarding the origin of the launch, the specific type of missile used, and the potential for civilian or infrastructure damage in the vicinity of Khamis Mushait remain based solely on the coalition's public announcement.
