Two Houthi Missiles Intercepted Targeting Mecca, Medina
2026-10-25
[YemenOnline] Saudi Civil Defense announced on Saturday that it had responded to debris falling after the interception of two ballistic missiles launched by the Houthis toward the Mecca and Medina regions.

The Civil Defense spokesperson stated that parts of the missiles fell in Wadi al-Mughammas in Mecca, while debris from the interception landed in the al-Nuzha neighborhood of Jeddah, Wadi Jalil in Taif, and the Masturah area of ​​Rabigh.
Debris happens. The key is that the silly thing doesn’t kaboom as its launchers intended.
The statement confirmed that standard procedures for handling such incidents were implemented, but did not include any information regarding injuries or material damage.
