Earlier the Spokesman of the Saudi-led Coalition Forces Colonel Turki al-Maliki said that three missiles were randomly fired by Houthi militia towards Riyadh City, one towards Khamis Mushait, one towards Najran and two towards Jazan to target civilian populated areas.
The Spokesman said that all the missiles were intercepted and destroyed by the Saudi Royal air defense forces. However, interception of the missiles led to the fall of fragments on some residential areas, killing an Egyptian expatriate.
