Houthi missiles fired at Medina intercepted, Saudi coalition says

• The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthis said on Thursday that a ballistic missile fired by the group at the Medina region – home to one of Islam's holiest cities – had been intercepted.
• The announcement came just minutes after the kingdom's civil defence agency warned of potential danger in the area near the strategic port of Yanbu.
• It was unclear if the two events were connected.
