2018-05-20
[AAWSAT] Saudi air defenses intercepted on Saturday a ballistic missile fired by the Iran-backed Houthis militias towards its territories.

Spokesman for the coalition to restore legitimacy in Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic...
Colonel Turki al-Maliki said that the missile was fired from Yemen’s Saada province towards the Kingdom.

Soon after, the missiles fired another missile, which was detected by Saudi air defenses. It crashed in an uninhabited desert area.

Maliki said that the second rocket was fired towards the city of Khamis Mushait.

He accused the militias of deliberately firing missiles towards populated areas, deeming such attacks a violation of International Humanitarian Law.
