Saudi Arabia Says Missile From Yemen Strayed From Course Near Border

Saudi Arabia's Defense Ministry said a missile launched from Yemen fell short of its target and strayed from its trajectory, landing in an empty area near the Saudi-Yemen border. The ministry said in a written statement that the missile missed its intended target and gave misleading indicators during flight. The investigation into the firing showed the projectile was aimed at a country in the region, the statement said. Saudi authorities reported no casualties or damage in the border area. Officials said the missile was detected early, tracked throughout its flight, and the impact point was secured. Elements of the Royal Air Force monitored the situation in real time and all relevant units acted in coordination, the ministry said.
