Saudi Arabian coalition forces intercept youth movement projectiles, warnings lifted in several Saudi cities

(Central News Agency, Riyadh, Comprehensive Foreign News Report on the 24th) The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis in Yemen announced today that the military intercepted two missiles fired by the Houthis towards the western cities of Taif and Yanbu.

Agence France-Presse reported that not long ago, the Saudi coalition forces intercepted the projectiles of the youth movement. Not long ago, the Saudi civil defense agency issued potential danger warnings for four western regions, including Taif, Yambu, the Red Sea port city of Jeddah, and the Islamic holy city of Mecca. The alert has since been cleared.

At that time, the Civil Defense Agency instructed residents to "go to the nearest safe place" to take refuge, and reiterated the legal warning against spreading images or information related to "intercepting missiles and drones".

The Red Sea port city of Yambu, targeted by the youth movement, is an important oil export hub on the Red Sea coast, allowing the Riyadh authorities to break through Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and export most of the crude oil produced by Saudi Arabia.

A youth movement backed by Iran is at war with the internationally recognized Yemeni government, which is backed by Saudi Arabia, and has targeted Saudi oil infrastructure and airports.
