RIYADH, April 28 (Xinhua) -- Saudi air forces intercepted on Saturday four ballistic missiles shot by Yemen's Houthi militias that targeted border city Jazan, Al Arabiya local news reported.
The four missiles were shot at the same time at 10:40 am local time (0740 GMT) and were targeting residential areas in the city, the report said.
The forces intercepted on Friday a ballistic missile shot towards another border city Najran.
Houthi militias have been targeting various Saudi cities, mainly those near the Saudi-Yemeni border. Saudi Arabia is leading a coalition in support of the exiled Yemeni government against Iranian backed militias.
The militias have fired over 100 ballistic missiles in total targeting Saudi Arabian land, said an Arab coalition statement released on April 16. Saudi air defenses were able to intercept most of them.
