RIYADH, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- Saudi Arabia announced on Wednesday that 23 individuals were injured of shrapnel of a missile shot from Yemen toward the border city Najran, Saudi Press Agency reported.

With the fresh attack, the total number of missile attacks against the kingdom increased to 189 missiles, causing 112 people dead and hundreds injured, said Turki Al-Malki, the Saudi-led coalition spokesperson.

He said that the Saudi air forces managed to intercept and destroy the missile that was shot from Yemeni city Saada, while the shrapnel fell on the people and wounded them.

He affirmed that the missile attack will increase the determination of the coalition forces to work harder to achieve the Yemeni and regional stability goals.

The coalition commenced the war in Yemen in March 2015 to support the Yemeni exiled government.
