Riyadh, May 25 (TNS): Saudi air defenses on Friday intercepted a ballistic missile over the southern city of Najran after it was fired from rebel-held territory in neighboring Yemen, a Saudi-led military coalition said.

The missile was spotted at 00:39 Saudi time and was said to be fired by the Houthi militia in Yemen.

Debris from the missile landed in residential areas of Najran without causing casualties, coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki said in a statement released by the official Saudi Press Agency.
