An Arab resident was injured, and a residential house and a vehicle were damaged, as a result of fragments of a ballistic missile falling in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, today, Wednesday, after it was intercepted and destroyed.
The Saudi News Agency “SPA” quoted the civil defense spokesman as saying that relief teams went to the site of the accident immediately after the fall of shrapnel resulting from the interception of a ballistic missile launched by the Houthi group towards the city.
The spokesman explained that the accident resulted in the injury of an Arab resident, in addition to limited material damage to one of the residential homes and a damaged vehicle, noting that the approved procedures for such cases were applied, without revealing further details about the nature of the injury or the extent of the damage.
This incident comes as an extension of previous missile attacks targeting Saudi territory, as the relevant authorities previously announced the interception and destruction of similar projectiles, and the taking of all security and precautionary measures to protect civilians and property.
