Houthi missiles fired at Medina intercepted, Saudi coalition says
A ballistic missile fired at the Saudi city of Medina, one of Islam's holiest cities, was intercepted Thursday, a spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthi rebels said. The announcement came shortly after the kingdom's civil defence agency warned of potential danger around the strategic port of Yanbu.
