On April 2, Houthi militants in Yemen launched a Badr-1 short-range ballistic missile toward the Saudi Army base in Al-Jarbah in southern Dhahran, Asir province. The missile was reportedly launched from Sa’dah, and according to Arab Coalition spokesperson Colonel Turki Al-Maliki, fell in Yemeni territory two kilometers from the Saudi border. Houthi media, however, claimed the projectile “hit the designated target with great precision.”
