In a statement on Monday, the command of the coalition of supporting legitimacy in Yemen announced that at about 11 and a half on Monday evening, December 21, the Saudi air defense forces intercepted a ballistic missile which was launched from Yemeni territories towards the city of Jizan. The air forces destroyed the rocket launch platform whose location was identified within the Yemeni territories. The coalition command made it clear that while it is keen to deal positively with the Yemeni government's request for an extension of the truce, the continuation of the Houthi militias in their absurdity will push the command of the coalition to take harsh measures to deter such acts.
