MOSCOW, October 7 - RIA Novosti. The anti-Houthi coalition led by Saudi Arabia said it intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by the Houthis towards the Saudi city of Khamis Mushait, Reuters reported, citing a statement from Saudi Arabian state television.

“The coalition against the Houthis, led by Saudi Arabia, announced the interception and destruction of a ballistic missile launched by the Yemeni ... Houthis towards the Saudi Arabian city of Khamis Mushait,” the agency said in a publication.

The military confrontation between Yemen's Ansar Allah movement (Houthis) and the pro-government army, which is supported by Saudi Arabia, resumed in mid-July after a four-year lull.

During this time, the Houthis were able to occupy the entire western coast of the Red Sea and cities near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. On Monday, Yemen's internationally recognized authorities announced the start of an operation to liberate Sanaa, the country's capital, from the Houthis.
