The Saudi-led Arab coalition said on Sunday that the Houthi militias launched a ballistic missile from Sanaa which shortly fell in Yemen's Saada governorate.

“The terrorist, Iran-backed, Houthi militia launched a ballistic missile from Sanaa on Sunday. The missile fell short (159) km after launch in Yemeni soil in Saada governorate," read a statement by the Coalition's Spokesman colonel Turki Al-Maliki.

The Houthi militia continues its flagrant violations of the International Humanitarian Law by launching ballistic missiles that fall indiscriminately on civilians and population centers, threatening the lives of hundreds of innocent civilians.

Maliki stressed that the Coalition will continue to undertake all deterrent, rigorous measures to protect civilians in Yemen, and safeguard regional and international security.

Saudi Arabia suspended on Friday travel by Saudi citizens to Kenya as part of precautionary measures to mitigate risks associated with the Ebola virus.

The measures include halting all visa issuance for individuals arriving from Kenya, and barring entry to travelers arriving directly from Kenya or transiting through third countries if they stayed in Kenya or any other country with an active Ebola outbreak within the 21 days preceding their arrival in the Kingdom.

These directives build upon preventive protocols implemented since July 2019 and reinforced in May 2026 for arrivals from high-risk countries.

Coordination is ongoing with local and international health agencies to evaluate risks, safeguard the health of citizens, residents, and visitors, and contribute to global health security.

In June 2026, the Kingdom suspended travel to and from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan, while tightening surveillance and entry-point screening for travelers arriving from neighboring areas.

The Public Health Authority stressed that the health situation inside the Kingdom remains reassuring and under constant surveillance. It confirmed that it continues to track regional and international epidemiological trends in coordination with relevant bodies, taking all necessary preventive measures to ensure response readiness and public safety.

Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Fahd Al-Dosari launched at the Saudi Embassy in Beirut on Friday a campaign to distribute sacrificial meat across Lebanon under the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Project for Utilization of Hady and Adahi.

The launch event was attended by Grand Mufti of Lebanon Sheikh Abdul Latif Derian, head of the Supreme Sunni Court Sheikh Mohammed Assaf, Director-General of the Zakat Fund Sheikh Zuhair Al-Kibbi, alongside several Lebanese dignitaries.

Al-Dosari stated that the project, managed by the Royal Commission for Makkah City and Holy Sites since its inception in 1983, continues to include Lebanon among its beneficiaries.

He noted that the current campaign delivers over 10,000 sacrificial meat distributed across all Lebanese regions in coordination with Dar Al-Fatwa, the Zakat Fund, and the Lebanese government.

Derian expressed deep gratitude and appreciation to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for launching the initiative in Lebanon.

Dar Al-Fatwa and its institutions stand firmly with the Kingdom against heinous terrorist attacks targeting Makkah, Madinah, and other Saudi cities, he stressed.
