(Worthy News) – Saudi Arabia said on Friday that its air defense systems had intercepted a ballistic missile over the southern city of Najran.

Another missile struck an Aramco petroleum distribution terminal in the city of Jizan overnight, leading to a fire at one of the terminal’s tanks, the Saudi Energy Ministry said in a statement.
The Houthis were quick to claim the attacks, along with attempted kamikazi drone strikes. [ Source: CBS News (Read More…) ]
