Arab Coalition Shot Down A Ballistic Missile Near Mecca
haberler.com
A ballistic missile fired by Yemeni rebels was shot down late Thursday near Mecca in Saudi Arabia, Middle East Eye reports.
The missile was intercepted 69km south of the city in western Saudi Arabia, the coalition said in a statement, calling it "a desperate attempt by Shiite Houthi rebels to disrupt Hajj", which begins at the end of August.
It is not the first time rebels have fired in the direction of Mecca. But the new attack is thought to pose a threat ahead of Hajj pilgrimage, when some two million faithful from across the world will visit the site.
