Saudi Arabia intercepts missile near Medina, suspects Houthi involvement

Saudi Arabia intercepted a missile near the holy city of Medina. The missile was reportedly destroyed by Saudi air defenses before reaching its target. The Houthi militant group is suspected of launching the missile, stemming from ongoing animosity between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, who support opposing sides in Yemen's civil war. This incident follows a similar alleged Houthi missile attack near Mecca in October 2016, which the Houthis denied targeting holy sites.
