CAIRO (Reuters) – The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen said on Monday that the Iranian-aligned Houthi group fired two ballistic missiles towards the southern Saudi city of Khamis Mushait, but succeeded in hitting only uninhabited border areas, Saudi state TV reported.
The two missiles were launched from a populated area in Yemen’s Saada province, the coalition said.
It added later that it had destroyed a bunker for ballistic missiles and launch pads in Saada, state TV reported.
“We are taking operational measures to neutralize and destroy sources of threat to protect civilians,” the coalition said, adding that its military operations complied with international law and its customary rules.
