DUBAI: Saudi air defence forces  on Friday intercepted and destroyed the ballistic missile  fired by armed Houthis  from Yemen to  Jizan on Friday.

No casualties or damage were recorded when the missile was intercepted, said official. The Houthis say their missile attacks on the kingdom are in retaliation for air raids on Yemen by the Western-backed coalition, which entered Yemen´s war in 2015 to try to restore the  government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. The coalition has carried out thousands of air strikes in Yemen.
