The Saudi-led coalition said Thursday that its air defences intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by Yemen’s Houthi militia toward the Madinah region. The Houthis rejected claims that they targeted Madinah. Yemen has been engulfed in a civil war since the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa and other areas in September 2014. The Saudi-led Arab coalition has supported the internationally recognised Yemeni government since March 2015. Fighting has intensified in recent weeks, with the Houthis launching repeated missile and drone attacks on Saudi territory.
