Arab News 

DUBAI: Saudi Arabia’s defense forces intercepted a ballistic missile in Najran’s sky, Al-Arabiya TV reported from sources.

The attack comes one day after Houthis targeted a vital oil terminal in Jazan, which resulted in a fire.
Several Saudi authorities, regional organizations and other countries condemned the attack.

The Saudi Ministry of Energy said “these acts of sabotage target the security of energy supplies.”

The Arab coalition and Saudi air defenses intercepted and destroyed several explosive-laden drones launched by Yemen’s Houthi militia toward the Kingdom earlier on Thursday, state TV reported.  

A government spokesman later condemned the attack targeted the stability of of energy supply around the world.
