Major General Turki Al-Malki, official spokesman for the Saudi-led Coalition Forces, says Houthi militia are deliberately and systematically targeting civilians and civilian objects
Major General Turki Al-Malki, official spokesman for the Saudi-led Coalition Forces supporting legitimacy in Yemen, said the Royal Saudi Air Defense Forces intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by the Houthi militia toward Riyadh on Sept. 19 morning. 
He said the escalation by the Houthi militia and its continued attempts to target civilians and civilian objects in Riyadh, a city home to more than eight million citizens and residents, confirm the militia’s persistence in deliberately and systematically targeting civilians and civilian objects in what he described as terrorist and hostile conduct.
Al-Malki added that the Houthi militia had also attempted to target civilians and civilian objects in the cities of Bish, Taif, Farasan and Yanbu.
The hostile attempts were thwarted by air defenses, he said, stressing the coalition leadership’s right to take appropriate measures, in accordance with international humanitarian law and customary rules, to deter the Houthi militia’s conduct.
