Saudi Arabia Shoots Down Two Ballistic Missiles Launched by Houthi Movement

Saudi Arabia's defense system intercepted two ballistic missiles launched from Yemen on Saturday, which were reportedly targeting oil refineries in the western city of Yanbu.

The Greek-operated air defense system deployed in Saudi Arabia successfully shot down the projectiles, according to Reuters citing unnamed Greek security sources.

This comes after the Houthi movement announced a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia earlier this week, warning ships not to load or unload cargo at Saudi ports or risk being targeted.
