4 Houthi missiles, 6 bomb-laden drones targeting Saudi Arabia intercepted and destroyed

Riyadh - 'Houthi militia is deliberately escalating hostilities as it targets civilians in Yemen and neighboring countries'

Yemen's Saudi-Led coalition said on Monday it intercepted and destroyed four missiles and six explosive drones launched overnight by Houthi forces towards the kingdom.
Cross-border attacks by the Iran-aligned Houthi movement have escalated since late May when a truce prompted by the novel coronavirus expired. In late June, missiles reached the Saudi capital Riyadh.
The coalition, in a statement published by the Saudi state news agency SPA, did not say where the objects where intercepted, but said the drones had been launched from the Houthi-controlled capital Sanaa towards Saudi Arabia.
The coalition intervened in Yemen in March 2015 after the Houthis ousted the Saudi-backed, internationally recognised government from the capital, Sanaa, in late 2014.
A statement by the official spokesman of the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen Col. Turki Al-Malki said: 'Joint Coalition forces this morning intercepted and destroyed (2) ballistic missiles launched by the terrorist, Iran-backed Houthi militia to deliberately target civilians and civilian objects in the Kingdom.
