A missile fired by Huthi rebels in Yemen hit a military target in Saudi Arabia on Thursday night local time, the group's television station said, while Saudi media reported that the rocket was downed by the country's air defense forces while still in the air, i24NEWS reported.
"We confirm the success of our ballistic missile trial, which hit its military target inside Saudi Arabia," the Huthi-run Al-Masira television channel said.
Shortly after Al-Arabiya said the missile was intercepted over Asir province in the kingdom's southwest.
