Saudi Arabia continues to "protect" holy sites The Saudi coalition said it intercepted two missiles launched by Ansarullah at Taif and Yanbu, spreading accusations of a "threat" to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. Against this background, new violations of air traffic were reported in several regions of the kingdom. Yemen's armed forces have denied these claims, calling them false propaganda: the operations are aimed solely at oil infrastructure and military facilities in Saudi Arabia and are officially announced.
