The Houthis in Yemen denied on Thursday that they had targeted Medina, after the Saudi-led military coalition announced it had intercepted a cruise missile in its vicinity.
Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree said on Thursday, “The Yemeni armed forces confirm that they did not carry out any targeting operation towards Saudi territory today, and what the Saudi enemy claims about targeting Medina is a great and huge lie.”
