Saudi Arabia Says Houthi Missiles Targeted Mecca And Medina, Intercepts Two Ballistic Missiles

Saudi Arabia's civil defence agency said on Saturday that it responded to shrapnel falling in the Mecca and Medina regions after intercepting missiles launched by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis. Mecca and Medina are Islam's two holiest cities. "The fall of shrapnel from two ballistic missiles launched by the terrorist Houthi militia towards the regions of Mecca Al-Mukarramah and Medina Al-Munawwarah," the General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense said in a post on X.
