Several ballistic missiles fired from the direction of Yemen were allegedly intercepted by Saudi Arabia’s air defenses, as the top American diplomat travels the country talking up an “Iranian threat” and the might of US weapons.

The missiles are said to have been launched from the direction of Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, and reportedly targeted an oil terminal near the city of Yanbu early on Friday morning, local time, though few details about the attack have been confirmed.

“The Royal Saudi Air Defense intercepted ballistic missiles launched by the terrorist Iran-backed Houthi militia towards Saudi cities,” the kingdom said in a statement on Friday, adding “The missiles were launched in a systematic, deliberate manner to target cities and civilians, which is a flagrant defiance of the International Humanitarian Law.”

Videos of the alleged interception have emerged on social media.
