On Sunday Saudi air defence forces shot down seven ballistic missiles fired at the capital of Riyadh, as well as other southern cities of Saudi Arabia; however, the debris of the missiles killed an Egyptian national and injured three others, two of whom are his relatives.

The ambassador was accompanied by a number of Egyptian officials in Riyadh, including the consul and the defence attaché, a foreign ministry statement added.

Egyptian authorities are paying to transfer the body of Abdel Motaleb Ahmed Hussein, the man who was killed, to Egypt, the ministry added.

The three men injured, Mohammed Ahmed Hussein, Shehab Mahmoud Hussein and Tareq Abo Taleb Mohammed, are stable and one will be released from hospital soon, the statement said.

Hussein is the first person to be killed on Saudi soil by military action since the Saudi-led coalition started their military operations in Yemen in 2015, Rooters reported.
