Houthi missiles targeting cities in Saudi Arabia have been intercepted, the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen said Thursday. The missiles were fired by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, the Coalition said in a statement released by the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA). "They were launched in a systematic, deliberate manner to target cities and civilians, which is a flagrant defiance of international humanitarian law," SPA quoted Coalition Spokesman Turki al-Maliki as saying. "The capital (Sanaa) has become a Houthi militia assembly, installation and launching hub for ballistic missiles that target the Kingdom," he added.
