Saudi coalition shoots down Houthi ballistic missiles and drones

Yemen’s Houthi rebels say they have launched their biggest-ever military operation against Saudi Arabia.
Eight drones and three ballistic missiles were fired towards Saudi Arabia since Monday, and the Houthis say they plan to launch more.
The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis in Yemen says it has intercepted a ballistic missile headed towards Riyadh.
A coalition spokesman says the attack was launched from the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, towards civilian targets in the kingdom.
