RIYADH, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 19th Jun, 2018) the Saudi Royal Air Defense Forces intercepted a ballistic missile launched by the Iranian-backed terrorists Houthi militias towards the Saudi territories with no damage have been reported.
Colonel Turki al-Maliki on Tuesday, Spokesman Arab Coalition Forces, said that at 05:43 the Saudi Royal Air Defence Forces spotted ballistic missile fired by the Iranian-backed Houthi militias from Saada city deliberately targeting civilian population in the city of Khamis Mushait.
Al-Maliki said this hostile act proves that the Iranian regime supports the Houthi terrorist militias with qualitative capabilities in stark violation of UN resolutions No. 2216 and No.2231 with the ultimate objective of undermining the Saudi, regional and international security.
Launching ballistic missiles against the populated cities and villages contravenes the international and humanitarian law, he said.
