Turkey has condemned Monday the ballistic missile attacks that struck various cities of Saudi Arabia.
The Turkish Ministry Of Foreign Affairs on a statement has condemned the attack from Yemen late Sunday.
"We have learned with concern that seven missile attacks have been carried out from Yemen in various cities of Saudi Arabia on the night of March 25," the statement said.
According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), media spokesman of Civil Defense in Riyadh, Mohammed al-Hammadi said that the Saudi air defense shot down seven ballistic missiles fired by Yemen's Houthi militia.
One person died and two others were injured after Yemen shot ballistic missiles at Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh late Sunday.
An Egyptian expat died from the ballistic missile debris, the first death in Riyadh, since the country's military campaign was launched three years ago in Yemen.
