On Saturday, the Saudi-led union in Yemen confirmed it shot down an air objective launched towards the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
No further information was revealed, but Saudi media reported that the target was a missile launched by Houthi rebels I n Yemen.
The Houthi group issued no commentaries on the report.
The Iran-aligned rebels have repeatedly announced rocket and drone attacks on Saudi territories in response to what they say the Saudi-led assault on Yemen.
Yemen has been engaged by violence and chaos since 2014, when Houthi rebels overran much of the country, including the capital Sanaa. The crisis escalated in 2015 when the Saudi-led coalition launched a devastating air campaign aimed at rolling back Houthi territorial gains.
