Debris from two ballistic missiles launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels fell in Saudi Arabia's Makkah region early Thursday (November 12). The incident occurred in the village of Sabuhah.

Saudi authorities reported that the country's air defense system intercepted both missiles, causing the falling debris to land in the village. Earlier, the Saudi-led coalition also claimed to have destroyed several other missiles and drones fired by the Houthis across various parts of the kingdom.

According to Anadolu Agency, the Saudi Civil Defense stated that the two missiles were launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels.

Meanwhile, Saudi-led coalition spokesperson Turki Al-Maliki announced that Saudi air defenses detected and destroyed a drone in the eastern region of the country.

Prior to this, on Wednesday (November 11), the Saudi-led coalition stated that it had intercepted and destroyed five missiles and two drones.

The coalition noted that three cruise missiles were fired toward the capital, Riyadh, while two ballistic missiles were intercepted in the western region.

Of the two drones, one was intercepted in the Makkah region and the other in the southern region.

These incidents come amid escalating tensions between the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition, marked by recurring Houthi missile and drone attacks on Saudi territory and retaliatory coalition strikes targeting Houthi positions in Yemen.
