The Saudi Minister of Defense heads the Kingdom’s delegation at the Gulf Joint Defense Council meeting

The Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen announced that the Saudi air defense intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by the terrorist Houthi militia towards the southern region, at dawn on Tuesday.

The Saudi Civil Defense had previously issued an early warning in the city of Abha and Khamis Mushait Governorate (southern Saudi Arabia) to warn of a danger, before announcing its disappearance minutes later.

Major General Turki al-Maliki, spokesman for the coalition, revealed the destruction of a factory to assemble and produce ballistic missile components, another chemical factory to mix and produce its fuel (solid fuel), and an electronics factory to assemble its electronic systems, on Monday.

Major General Al-Maliki stressed, through his account on the “X” social media platform, on Monday evening, that the coalition would continue to weaken and dismantle the Houthis’ ballistic missile network.

Prince Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman, Deputy Governor of the Riyadh Region, inspected the administrative building of the Saudi Aramco Company in the capital, on Monday, to determine the limited damage resulting from the heinous attack of the terrorist Houthi militia on civilian objects.

The Saudi Ministry of Energy reported that the building was subjected to an attempted drone attack on Sunday morning, which led to shrapnel falling on the site and causing limited damage without recording any injuries or deaths, explaining that the competent authorities began dealing with the incident and taking the necessary measures.

The Deputy Emir of Riyadh Region said that the Houthi attacks confirm what Saudi Arabia has proven about these terrorist militias and their targeting of civilian objects, praising the efforts of everyone in the civilian, military and security sectors.

Prince Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman listened to an explanation of the procedures followed by the concerned authorities in Aramco and the region, directing the provision of all necessary capabilities to facilitate the tasks of the company’s employees.

The Deputy Emir of the Riyadh Region appreciated the efforts made by the leadership for the sake of the security and stability of the country, noting the noble sentiments, national cohesion, and the readiness of the brave men of the Saudi forces to confront any danger threatening the security of the Kingdom.

During his inspection visit to the building, Prince Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman was accompanied by a number of security leaders in the Riyadh region.
