The coalition to restore legitimacy in Yemen announced on Wednesday that it had thwarted a ballistic missile attack by the Iranian-backed Houthis against Saudi Arabia last week.


Spokesman for the coalition Turki al-Maliki said during a press conference that the alliance has thwarted 86 missile attacks against the Kingdom, the last of which was on Friday.


He welcomed the Arab Parliament’s condemnation of Houthi strikes against Saudi Arabia and condemned the backing Houthi militias receive from some countries to destabilize the region.
