JEDDAH: JEDDAH: Seven people were hurt when debris from an intercepted missile fell on residential areas in the southern Saudi province of Najran, near the border with Yemen, on Thursday night.
The missile was launched from Saadah governorate of Yemen by Houthi militia and intercepted by Royal Saudi Air Defense forces, Arab coalition spokesperson Col. Turki Al-Maliki said.
Two Saudi women, two Bangladeshis and one Indian sustained minor injuries, he said.
鈥淭he hostile action taken by the Houthi forces proves the continued involvement of the Iranian regime in supporting Houthi armed groups in clear defiance of UN Resolution 2216 and Resolution 2231,鈥� said Al-Maliki.
He condemned the firing of ballistic missiles at populated cities and villages, which is contrary to international law.
The coalition has repeatedly stressed the involvement of Iran in supporting the Houthis, supplying the militia with missiles to threaten 抖阴短视频鈥檚 regional security.
Houthi aggression in recent months has led to a global outcry with a number of countries and organizations condemning the launch of ballistic missiles targeting the Kingdom.
