Saudi Arabia's Defense Ministry confirmed it is responding to ballistic missiles launched by the Houthi movement, according to a statement carried by Ynet. The ministry did not provide details on the number of missiles or interceptions.
The Saudi Defense Ministry’s confirmation comes as the Houthi movement continues its missile campaign against Saudi Arabia. Earlier this evening, at 19:59 Jerusalem, reports emerged that the Houthis had launched at least six surface-to-surface ballistic missiles, as The Zioneer reported. Shortly thereafter, at 20:18, the Saudi Defense Ministry publicly acknowledged it was dealing with ballistic missiles launched by the Houthis, as carried by Ynet. The ministry’s statement did not specify the number of missiles or whether any were intercepted. This is the latest in a series of Houthi attacks on Saudi territory, including missile launches at Saudi airports earlier in the evening, which prompted Saudi air defense systems to engage. The situation remains developing, and no reports of casualties or damage have been confirmed.
