RIYADH: A Houthi militia ballistic missile was launched late on Monday towards civilian areas in Dhahran Al-Janoub in Saudi Arabia, close to the southern border with Yemen.
Arab Coalition spokesperson Colonel Turki Al-Maliki said in a statement: "An Iranian missile supplied to Houthi militia in Yemen was launched from Sa'dah towards civilian areas of Dhahran Al-Janoub."
The missile, according to Al-Maliki, fell on wasteland in Yemen two kilometres from the Saudi border.
Al-Maliki said that the Iranian-backed Houthi militia launched the missile towards Dhahran Al-Janoub residential areas delibrately.
The statement went on to say that the Houthi militia's belligerent acts are a clear indication that the Iranian government is supporting the militia and supplying them with special weapons in contravention of UN Security council resolutions 2216 and 2231.
The Iranians are aiming to threaten Saudi Arabia’s security, as well as regional and international peace, the statement added.
The Houthi use of ballistic missiles to target civilian populated towns and cities is in contravention of international humanitarian law
