Saudi air defenses intercepted and destroyed on Wednesday three cruise missiles fired by Houthi militias towards Riyadh, as well as two drones over the Makkah and Southern Region.

Yemeni government forces expanded their military operations against the Houthis under the “Yemen Dawn” operation, across the fronts of Marib, Al-Jawf, Taiz, Lahj, Al-Dhale and Hajjah.

The Yemeni army said it had carried out 874 strikes over a 24-hour period, killing or wounding about 190 Houthi militants and destroying or disabling 130 military vehicles and combat assets.

In western Lahj, the Giants Brigades and Nation’s Shield forces repelled Houthi attacks, as families fled front-line areas towards Aden and other safer locations.

Government forces also foiled an attempt to detonate two improvised explosive devices disguised as sandstone rocks and planted on either side of the international road linking Marib with the Al-Abr area, which leads to the border crossing with Saudi Arabia.

Military sources said engineering teams dismantled the devices between the Al-Ruwaik and Al-Dhuwaybi areas and secured the road without any casualties.
