Saudi Arabia said debris from two ballistic missiles fell in the Makkah region after its air defences intercepted and destroyed them. The missiles were fired late Wednesday night as the kingdom and Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis continue to trade attacks.

## Where the Debris Landed

Saudi state television named two locations. Sabuhah village is about 35 km (22 miles) northeast of Masjid al-Haram (Grand Mosque) in Makkah. Wadi al-Maghmas is about 21 km east of the mosque.

Saudi civil defence said the missiles were launched toward the region and were intercepted and destroyed.

## Houthi Denial

The Houthis have repeatedly rejected Saudi claims that they target Makkah and Medina, Islam's two holiest cities. They say their operations are aimed at military and strategic targets elsewhere in Saudi Arabia.

## What the Coalition Intercepted

Major General Turki Al-Malki, spokesperson for the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen, said the intercepted threats were two ballistic missiles, three cruise missiles and four drones. They were aimed at the Riyadh, Makkah, southern and eastern regions.

The coalition's statements came in this order:

- **Wednesday evening:** Three cruise missiles launched by the Houthis toward the Riyadh Region were intercepted and destroyed.
- **Later that evening:** Two drones launched toward the Makkah and southern regions were intercepted and destroyed.
- **Late Wednesday night:** Two ballistic missiles launched toward the western region were intercepted and destroyed.
- **Early Thursday:** Debris from those two ballistic missiles fell on Sabuhah village in the Makkah Region. Around the same time, another drone was intercepted and destroyed in the Eastern Province.
- **Thursday morning:** A drone was intercepted and destroyed in the Riyadh Region.
