# The Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile the Houthis fired

The Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile the Houthis fired toward southern Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Civil Defence says the danger has passed in Khamis Mushait.

It's the third Saudi intercept claim in two days, after two ballistic missiles were shot down over Riyadh Thursday and the coalition's Mecca drone account that the Houthis denied.
