The Holy Month of Ramadan isn’t deterring the Houthis from attempting to attack the holiest city for Muslims – Makkah.

According to the Saudi Gazette, the Houthis fired two ballistic missiles from their base in Yemen. One was heading towards Makkah and the other to Jeddah.

The two missiles were intercepted by the kingdom’s Patriot air defence system near Taif.

The Yemeni government has condemned the attack by calling it “a full-fledged terrorist act”.
