Saudi air defenses reportedly intercepted two ballistic missiles launched by Yemen's Houthi militia, and shrapnel fell in the Mecca and Medina regions. The incident follows a period of relative calm since a UN-mediated truce in 2022.
Saudi Civil Defense reported that shrapnel fell in the regions of Mecca and Medina after the interception of two ballistic missiles launched by Yemen's Houthi militia. Saudi air defenses reportedly intercepted the missiles, whose stated destinations were Taif and Yanbu.
The incident comes amid renewed tensions after relative calm since a UN-mediated truce in 2022. The Houthi-Saudi conflict has seen sporadic escalations, and recent attacks indicate an increase in military activity.
Observers should monitor any further military actions or escalations between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi militia. Statements from key actors such as Abdul-Malik al-Houthi or Mohammed bin Salman may offer further indications of where the conflict heads next.
