Ammon News - Saudi Arabia said debris from two ballistic missiles ​intercepted by its air defences fell in the Mecca ‌region on Wednesday, as the kingdom and Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis continued to trade attacks in an escalating conflict.

Saudi state television identified the locations as Sabuhah village, ​about 35 km (22 miles) northeast of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, ​and Wadi al-Maghmas, about 21 km east of the ⁠mosque.

The missiles were launched towards the region and intercepted and destroyed, ​Saudi Arabia's civil defence said in a statement.
