Saudi Arabia's crown prince said on Tuesday that a ballistic missile launched at the kingdom by Houthi rebels in Yemen last weekend was a "direct military aggression by the Iranian regime and may be considered an act of war."

The state-run Saudi Press Agency carried Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's remarks in an article about a call between the prince and British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson.
