The spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition supporting Yemen’s internationally recognised government, Major General Turki al-Maliki, said on Sunday that coalition forces had destroyed a ballistic missile launcher in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.

He said in a statement that the Houthis had used the launcher in an attempt to attack Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province on Sunday, according to Asharq News.

Al-Maliki also released a video on Sunday which he said showed coalition forces intercepting and destroying a cruise missile in southern Saudi Arabia.
