SANAA, May 6 (Xinhua) -- Yemen's Houthi rebels fired two ballistic missiles toward an oil facility in the Saudi border city of Jizan on Sunday, Houthi-controlled Saba news agency reported.

But Saudi state Al Arabiya TV said the Saudi air defense forces intercepted the two missiles and destroyed them.

It is the latest in a spate of missile attacks from Houthis on targets in Saudi Arabia, as the Saudi-led war against the Iranian-allied group in Yemen has entered the third year.

In March 2015, Saudi Arabia led a military coalition of Arab forces, backed by the United States, to intervene in Yemen's conflict to back the government of exiled President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

The coalition has launched thousands of airstrikes on the Iran-aligned Shiite Houthis, in attempts to roll back rebels and reinstate Hadi in the capital Sanaa.

In response, Houthis have fired dozens of ballistic missiles toward Saudi cities, with most of them intercepted by Saudi air defense forces.

The war has so far killed more than 10,000 Yemenis, mostly civilians, and pushed the Arab country to the brink of mass famine.
