SANAA, June 23 (Xinhua) -- Yemen's Houthi militia said they launched multiple ballistic missiles and bomb-laden drone attacks on military sites in Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh on Tuesday morning, the Houthi military spokesman said in a statement aired by the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV.

"The attack targeted the headquarters of the Saudi Defense Ministry, the military intelligence agency and King Salman Air Base in Riyadh, as well as other military facilities in the Saudi regions of Jizan and Najran," Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarea said in the statement.

"The attack came in response to the unjust blockade and aggression on the Yemeni people," Sarea said, vowing of launching more cross-border attacks on Saudi Arabia. Enditem
