RIYADH, July 18 (Xinhua) -- Saudi forces intercepted on Wednesday a ballistic missile launched from Yemen toward the border city Najran, Saudi Press Agency reported.

No injuries have been reported from the attack, according to Col. Turki Al Maliki, spokesperson of the forces .

He also accused Houthi militias of receiving assistance from Iran, which helps them continue their hostile attacks against civilians in Saudi cities.

Houthi rebels have been targeting Saudi border cities in the last three years, in response to airstrikes by the Saudi-led Arab coalition in support of Yemen's internationally-recognized government.
