··1 min read
The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen announced the interception and destruction of 14 missiles and drones on Monday. The projectiles, including ballistic and cruise missiles, targeted multiple cities in Saudi Arabia.
The intercepted missiles and drones targeted the Saudi capital, Riyadh, as well as the cities of Al-Kharj and the Eastern Region. Additionally, five drones were intercepted.
This marks the latest in a series of attacks launched from Yemen, targeting Saudi Arabia.
No injuries or damages were reported as a result of the intercepted projectiles.
**Context:** The Saudi-led coalition, known as the Arab Coalition, has been involved in Yemen's ongoing conflict since 2015. The coalition, which includes several Arab countries, has been supporting the internationally recognized government against Houthi rebels. The Houthis, who control large parts of Yemen, have been launching cross-border attacks on Saudi Arabia using missiles and drones. These attacks have become increasingly frequent in recent years, with the Houthis claiming they are in retaliation for the Saudi-led coalition's military operations in Yemen. The conflict in Yemen has resulted in one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, with millions of people displaced and in need of aid.
