Saudi-led coalition says shot down 6 ballistic missiles launched by Houthis

Saudi-led coalition forces fighting the Houthis in Yemen intercepted six ballistic missiles aimed at Saudi cities including Taif and Yanbu, according to Major General Turki al-Malki. Greek military personnel operating a Patriot system in Yanbu also shot down a missile and a drone in the region. No group claimed responsibility immediately, and alerts were issued in several Saudi cities, which were later lifted. The coalition's statement comes amid ongoing tensions and previous Houthi claims of targeting Mecca with drones, which Saudi Arabia denied.
