Saudi Arabia's military says it has intercepted six ballistic missiles targeting the country's Red Sea port of Yanbu and the city of Taif. The spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen’s Houthi rebels announced it on Thursday. There has been no immediate claim of responsibility from the Iran-backed Houthis, who have been blamed for recent attempted attacks, including on the Saudi capital of Riyadh. The Associated Press is not immediately able to verify the claim made by Saudi military spokesperson Maj. Gen. Turki al-Malki. His statement followed alerts by Saudi civil defense authorities, who later noted the danger had passed.
