RIYADH, May 6 (Xinhua) -- Saudi air forces have intercepted a ballistic missile shot by Houthi rebels from Yemen towards border city of Najran, Al Arabiya local news reported on Sunday.
The southern city of Najran, close to the border with Yemen, has borne such missile attacks since the Houthi militia forces took over swathes of the country in a 2014 coup.
According to officials, the city has witnessed more than 10,000 rocket attacks mostly arbitrarily targeting civilians since the conflict in Yemen first began.
Various other cities were also targeted by the rebels as a response to the Saudi-led war in support of the exiled Yemeni government that started over three years ago.
