Saudi Arabia Says It Intercepted Houthi Missile That Hurt 2

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - Saudi Arabia intercepted a ballistic missile fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels and debris that fell on a neighborhood near Dammam wounded at least two children, the kingdom said Sunday.

Images published by the state-run Saudi Press Agency showed glass and debris across a townhouse there, which is in the kingdom's eastern reaches and near the headquarters of the state-run oil giant Saudi Aramco. At least 14 homes in the area sustained damage, the agency reported. The Houthis launched three bomb-laden drones and three ballistic missiles in the attack, military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Turki al-Malki said. Houthi military spokesperson Yahia Sarei said the rebels launched a military operation deep in Saudi Arabia. He did not offer further details in a tweet, only saying a statement would follow shortly.
