“With many drones our armed forces targeted military aircraft, pilot accommodation and Patriot systems in Khamis Mushait, and other military targets at Abha, Jizan and Najran airports,” said Yahya Saree, a Houthi military spokesman.
“Additionally, the giant oil facility in the Jizan industrial zone. The strike was accurate.”
Khamis Mushait, Abha, Jizan and Najran are all in southwest Saudi Arabia near the Yemen border.
The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Yemeni resistance group said earlier it had intercepted and destroyed four missiles and six explosive drones fired by the Houthis over the border towards Saudi Arabia.
There was no Saudi confirmation of where they were intercepted or whether anything was hit.
Oil company Saudi Aramco operates a 400,000-barrel-per-day refinery in the Red Sea city of Jizan, which lies around 60 km (40 miles) from the Yemen border.
The coalition, in a statement published by Saudi state news agency SPA, did not say where the objects were intercepted but said the drones had been launched from the Houthi-controlled capital Sana’a towards Saudi Arabia.
Saint Thaddeus Monastery is called “Qara-kelisa” – the black church – by the Azeri-speaking local people; as some parts of its building are black.
Qara-kelisa is located 20 km north-east of Chaldoran, near a village of the same name in the south of Maku, West Azarbaijan province.
Built on the tomb of Saint Thaddeus, its construction dates back to the apostle’s martyrdom according to existing documents.
Apparently, the original building had been made entirely of black stone. After its reconstruction, part of the black stones have been replaced by white ones.

Nowadays, there are many types of sports ranging from football to swimming. Also, the many sports types make it easier for anyone to play, irrespective of their age. But are sports beneficial to us in any way? Games have many positive impacts on everyone. This guide will discuss the top ways in which individuals and communities benefit from sporting activities.
According to scientists, sports have various physical and physiological benefits which improve your health. They can trigger the body to secrete chemical substances called endorphins, which aids in relieving stress, pain, and elevating positive moods. Additionally, exercising helps in the development of lean muscle mass, stamina, and muscle endurance. This reduces your chances of obesity, hypertension, heart attack, stroke, and so on. You are also assured of increased performance in physical activities with less fatigue.
There is something about sports that brings togetherness; a camaraderie is formed between strangers when they support one team. Major sports activities such as soccer attract a lot of pomp and color from fans as they show their favorite team’s support. As seen on https://ronaldo.com/, avid fans will want to keep up with the latest happening of their teams by getting informed on upcoming matches. Sports such as football bring people from different backgrounds and religions together when they support one team. This kind of support to teams will have people unite in their community, coming together when needed because they have already become familiar with each other in sports.
Sports are a significant source of employment. Sportsmen and women boast of being in an industry that pays talent well in the world. With some of the highest sportsmen and women earning over six million, sports are quite lucrative. Sports do not only employ sportspeople; many careers are also employed through games including, doctors, news anchors, and nutritionists. There are also quite several business opportunities that are established due to sports such as vendors who sell foodstuffs in stadiums, branding companies that brand uniforms and betting companies. It is a vast industry providing opportunities to so many people.
It is always fascinating to watch any sporting activity, whether watching live in a stadium or on a screen from home, sports are quite exciting. They keep someone on edge, especially if there is a team they are supporting that is participating.
The frenzy created by fans when there’s a significant sporting activity happening in their neighborhood is always bedazzling. Folks carrying out healthy banter about each other’s teams is such an entertainment creating a happy mood for everyone.
Sporting is a project. To win, a player has to lay down all ideas regarding the game, select the most viable ones, point out what he is targeting in the game, and use the strategies to realize it. As they work hard and see their goals through, it proves to them that they can achieve higher targets in life. The players can, therefore, tackle new assignments and projects skillfully with more confidence in their abilities. With such determination, the player can develop leadership skills and transform into a more responsible person in society.
Players realize the benefit of working together as they commit towards reaching a common goal. They also acquire different problem-solving skills. Later in life, the players can transfer their team spirit to the benefit of society by building more training institutions, playgrounds, hospitals, and so on. By so doing, they will contribute to the development of a more civilized generation, thus boosting society’s economic and social aspects.
Imagine the case of a community with many teenagers who are just out of college, are jobless and live closely together. If they have nothing to keep their minds busy, such youngsters may easily influence each other to engage in drugs and other social ills in the society. However, having sporting arrangements like community tournaments, daily workout schedules, sport guidance, counseling sessions, and so on can positively impact society and the participants. It will cover up their spare time, thus keeping them busy all through.
As you can see, active engagement in sports has many benefits, ranging from health to physical. It also equips players with problem-solving skills and leadership skills. Additionally, games positively impact society through the reduction of social ills, economic, and social developments. However, if you can’t find the above benefits from your sporting activity, you may not be committed to it. Perhaps talking to your coach will help out. The coach will guide you to reap the entire benefits of the game and extend them to the society.
