Saudi Arabia intercepts Houthi missile

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s air defence forces intercepted a missile launched towards the kingdom’s southwestern Jizan region by Yemen’s armed Houthi movement, state media said on Tuesday. The Houthi-run al-Masirah TV said earlier that a Badr 1 missile had targeted Jizan Economic City, where Saudi Aramco is building a 400,000-barrel-per-day refinery that is expected to become fully operational in 2019. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
