Saudi Civil Defense reports one injury from intercepted missile in Asir

The Saudi Civil Defense reported that a ballistic missile launched by the Houthi rebels, who are allied with Iran, was fired on Saturday. The missile was intercepted over the Asir region, specifically in the governorate of Abha, and a fragment detector was triggered. It was also noted that the missile was launched on Friday, resulting in one person's injury and material damage after a projectile struck a school in Najran. The missile was launched by the Houthis. This comes amid a potential escalation in the region, as Saudi Arabia is considering options to attack Houthi militants to support maritime security in the Red Sea. The plan involves Yemeni forces backed by Saudi aerial support, while the United States and the international community provide limited support to the coalition's operations.
