The spokesman said that since the beginning of the war in Yemen in March 2015, Houthis attacked the kingdom with 430 ballistic missiles and 851 bomb-laden drones, causing the deaths of 59 Saudi civilians.
Houthis have been targeting various areas in Saudi Arabia, especially border cities and vital establishments, such as energy facilities and airports.
Most of these attacks had been intercepted before reaching their targets.
Recently, the coalition has been air-striking military targets of Houthis in Yemen to deter the militia from launching attacks.
