CAIRO, June 23 (Xinhua) -- The Egyptian Foreign Ministry strongly condemned on Tuesday the missiles and drone attacks launched by Yemen's Houthi militia on residential areas and civilians at two Saudi cities of Jizan and Najran.
Egypt voiced full solidarity with the people and government of Saudi Arabia for facing any attempts against its security and stability, the statement said.
Saudi-led coalition forces announced that they had "intercepted and destroyed three ballistic missiles and eight bomb-laden drones launched on Tuesday morning from Yemen by the Houthi militia towards the Saudi border regions of Jizan and Najran."
It was the latest in a series of cross-border attacks by the Yemeni Houthis against Saudi Arabia since the Yemeni civil war erupted five years ago.
Yemen has been mired in civil war since late 2014 when the Iran-backed Houthi militia seized control of much of the country's north and forced the Saudi-backed government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi out of Sanaa. Enditem
