A ballistic missile fired at the Saudi city of Medina was intercepted on Thursday, a spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition said, according to France 24. The coalition is fighting Yemen's Houthi rebels.
The announcement came shortly after Saudi Arabia's civil defence agency warned of potential danger around the port of Yanbu, France 24 and Al Jazeera both report.
France 24 describes Medina as one of Islam's holiest cities. Its headline refers to Houthi missiles, while its text describes a single missile.
