The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthi rebels says it intercepted and destroyed a cruise missile over the province of Medina, home to one of Islam's holiest sites. Spokesman Turki al-Maliki did not say who fired it or what it was aimed at, and the Houthis denied involvement. The incident follows a wave of recent Houthi missile and drone attacks on Saudi airports and oil facilities.
